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.”

But you got it! 😅 Way to go!
I know well that feeling of relief watching all of the squares turn green on the sixth row.
A blessed Lord’s Day to all!
‘Face, I hope you’re feeling well and I hope Mona is getting better too.
I got lucky on the starter word again. 😃

THAT’s impressive!
Happy Sunday!
Good job! I would have taken a five, but I was glad for a 6/6 and not an X/6! I’ve had to start over three times, and I’m not in the mood to do it again so soon!
A blessed Lord’s Day to you as well. I just watched our meeting on Zoom and it was really uplifting.
Lots of symptoms today, but I appreciate the wishes. 💖 I haven’t seen Mona, as she’s probably with her boyfriend, trying to recuperate from rotator cuff surgery AND the appendectomy. Ahe’ll show up in a day or two.
Excellent job on the threes!
It turns out I recognize this deacon. I don’t know him well, but he seems quite pleasant.
Nice job!

A three for me too today. It was a bit on the warm side today so we grilled rather then heat up the kitchen. I wish it would rain again but the heat and the sun are giving us lovely tomatoes.
Way to go!
I’m glad you’re getting lots of tomatoes.
I wish we’d get some rain too. It’s been too long. I just have to keep reminding myself that eventually droughts do end.
Nice!
And an 88 streak!
Excellent job!
I hope the rest of your day is pleasant!
That’s nice! We were treated to two choirs of children today. The youngest ones sang first and then the older ones. It was unexpected, but I always love to hear the children sing. There’s always that one little boy who sings louder than anyone else and looks everywhere except at the music teacher.
Sometimes they play with their ties, but there were no distractions of the sort today. I was waiting for it, though... ;o]
We had two hymns by the smattering of choir member who don’t have Covid. I think the effort was appreciated!
I love hymns, no matter how large or small the choir, or the composition!
This hasn’t been a good day for me, so I’m going to check my emails one last time, check here once more, then take my pills and head for bed.
Laundry day looms early!
Well I am on a streak of 2 at this point... wondering what the results will be for the next 100 Wordle games....
I hope you have a good night and feel much better tomorrow!
My current streak is four, I think! My shortest streak (so far) was nine.
Thanks! Maybe it will work...
I hope your night is good as well and that your health is improving.
Just a bit sniffly. I’m planning on an early night, myself.
