Pieces of ‘fireball’ meteor that exploded over Mississippi are being found, NASA says

Meteorites are not ‘flaming rocks of doom,' NASA says

The “bright fireball” was traveling at 35,000 mph when it exploded at 8:03 a.m. with the “energy equivalent of 3 tons of TNT,” according to NASA Meteor Watch, the agency's project that tracks fireball activity.

“Existing law states that any meteorites belong to the owner of the property on which they fell; out of respect for the privacy of those in the area, we will not disclose the locations of these finds,”

And finding anything of value is likely harder than you think.

“The pieces from this object were way too small to leave a crater. Unlike what you see in the movies, meteorites are not ‘flaming rocks of doom’ that blast holes in the ground. In fact, you can pick one up right after it hits ground. So no smoking rocks in small craters.”

I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something for you. Traditional Medicinals has Breathe Easy tea and also Throat Coat. And this:

I just might get some to have on hand. It might help me on the days I feel the worst.

I’m not sure if Walmart has the first two, but the Kroger affiliate might carry it.

Yup, probably PTSD with a fear of losing the gig.

I’ve seen some indications that PTSD in humans responds well to a few hallucinogens, ayahuasca for one and psilocybin for another.

Don’t know how well that would work for other mammals.

It would be nice to go for a walk with him, rather than being taken for a drag by him!

I’ve got two on the list, but I have to wait for payday AND for the agency to contact me about which one is the eldest. There is a senior bonded pair but my apartment is way too small for that. :o[

Maybe in another week....

You might look online for their use in dogs. I know CBD is made into dog drops, so you might check out some of the online stores.

It would certainly be worth checking out if it calms him down and helps with his training.

Since neither is legal in the US at this point (although the VA is experimenting with psilocybin right now under special license) it will be a while.

Utah and NV have CBD oil shops. I’ve seen them, and I’ve seen online shops. So I guess one would just have to check. But yeah, who wants to run afoul of the law? (Not po’ folk, for sure!)

Ah, yes I misread that as checking for yahuasca and/or psilocybin. That would be further crippled by my not even knowing any street pharmacists...

Fiver for me too.
I was just glad I finally got it.
I wish the store was on winter hours and I could close at five today.
And I have a whole counter of books to shelve. Oh well... slacking does not get the mortgage paid.

A stay-alive five! 👍

You work with books? I’d love to work with books!

Of course, I’d probably end up getting the axe for reading on the job.

I’d like to ask “Who does?” but I’m sure some wag would raise his/her hand.

Anyway, check into CBD oil for Tyson. It might help him.

Five is still alive!

In a way, I wish I still had a job, but there are other times I’m glad I’m retired.

Still, I’ve always been a people person, so I miss that interaction.

“And I have a whole counter of books to shelve.” I love the smell of books!!

Ain’t that a fact? My favorite “job” was working in the library in junior high. I don’t recall why I was in there, but it was almost a full school year! Of course, these days, one has to go to college to be a librarian. (Or are they even called that, any more?)

Asuncion said red onion and honey. Maybe I’ll try it later. I just took more Tylenol, and I’m going back to bed.

I hope you sleep well. I’ll say another prayer for your quick recovery. Take care of you! <3

Thank you. I’ve been sleeping and reading alternately all day.

Those are probably the best things for you at the moment. I nice hot soak in the tub would also be good!

See you in the morning!

Abyssinians are the most gorgeous colors!

Good morning. I hope you had a good night and that you’re feeling much better this morning.

I shut my alarm off and promptly went back to sleep for another hour. Not like me at all. Now the symptoms are coming — probably from the stress of the door being installed Friday.

But, as I keep saying, it is what it is, and to quote my mother, I can like it or lump it.

Good Sunday morning, all!

Well, here’s today’s effort, and I’ll take it! It’s much better than X/6!

Not excellent, but much better than yesterday. Sleeping is a good option.
