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.”

Not bad, thanks. Jake has been ignoring me recently, which is nice.
We had rain last night. Enjoy the shower!
Thanks, yes, the last row was done with my holding my breath! :o])
Whatever it takes!
I’m pretty sure that everyone playing has at least one streak ender... some of them have been tricky lately...
Good Friday Morning!

This streak ended at 88 for me... new start tomorrow!
Good try!
I wonder if we’ll get a break next week, since this week has been so horrendous!
What a cute little kitten. My Mićko will share some of his Temptations treats with him/her.
As long as it doesn’t cut in to his supply.
I don’t either. I like sun. I like rain. I hate droughts. (sigh…)
Happy Friday! I hope everybody has a nice weekend coming up.
They’ve been using one letter in particular a lot lately. So I went to it this morning and landed on the four-train.

Aw, man…
88’s a great streak, though. I haven’t had one go that long. Way to go!
Yes, I noticed... went with it on row one and got it confirmed... a lucky row two gave me two key letter positions... and I still managed to blow it!!
😂🤣😂
Good job!
I’m not good at spotting patterns, these days, though at one time I was. I’m glad to know there are still people who can do it, and that it all hasn’t been turned over to AI.
My weekend will be quiet. But they usually are!
Under the assumption that the solution words are picked randomly from a list, then we should get some “easy” ones soon!
I’m also guilty of that! LOL!
Yeah, my 3’s lag my 5’s by 2%.
My 4’s are WAY out in the lead, aided by this latest.
I guessed this 5-letter word in 4/6 tries.

You GO, guy!! Woo-hoo! Good stats!
Can you do that all the time?
Like, if you said, “I’m pretty sure ArGee is due to win the lottery,” would I win the lottery?
Because I’ll cut you in for a huge percent.
No, easy is only 4 letters.

Nice! I am back with a 3 today.
A streak of 1. :)
Looks like a kittah that would never lounge on a half finished quilt in the sewing center where he is not suppose to be leaving enough orange hair to knit another three cats.
Not that I am pointing fingers or anything.
