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 hope you get rain soon!
Good morning. Happy Twosday.
We don’t have rain. We were supposed to get a few days of it this week. Now, maybe rain on one day. But maybe not.
Still no seizure. Maybe we’re moving back to our 3 month between seizure pace. Or maybe I’ve spoken too soon for today.
I don’t think I’m getting any better at this. My luck is just different on different days. Still, I only have 4 fewer 3s than 5s.

Tiny floof!
Good morning. Did you have a good night? Did it rain any more?
I slept. I need to do it again but it will have to wait for tonight.
When do you go back to camp?
Our forecast is the same boring rain we’ve had since I moved here.
Those 30+ years on the Mojave Desert really spoiled my joints. I can hardly function, here, with all the rain and gloom.
The “Reboot” button should be extremely close. And large.
The sleep was good, except for stupid notices on my phone, but at least there was no insomnia.
I’m just waiting for the remission to begin so I can feel human again.
And that’s enough doom and gloom for one day!
Not bad, thanks. I think there was more rain: things are dripping outside this morning.
Our next camp is the weekend of Sept. 16-18. Kathleen and I are going to my mom’s in a couple of weeks, though.
Kathleen hasn’t been since she was a tiny thing, has she? She will be surprised at what she recalls.
That will be a nice visit for you.
I think it must be time for me to get out of my jammies and into some street clothes.
She was about eight weeks old. I don’t think she remembers anything!
For some reason I thought she was about a year or 18 months! My bad! LOL
We indeed are hoping...
A look this morning shows a hint of rain for Thursday & Friday of this week, then Tuesday thru Thursday of the following week....
🤞🏻
No problem ;-).
I’m off to Weight Watchers, having given various assignments to the bros which they had better complete!
Good Morning!
The streaks starts back at 1 with a ride on the four train today...

Good job!
IF I make it today, it will be #6 on my way to surpassing the 44 of the last streak. The one before that was 19.
We’ll see how I do!
About what I figured it would be.
But tomorrow is another day!

Good job on the Wordle!
I’m crossing my fingers on the seizures, and hope the new food is the key.
As far as Wordle in concerned, I don’t think it’s a question of “getting better” at it. It was designed to trip us up periodically and it does just that!
Good morning! I finally broke the five and six chain I’d had going lately. 😃
I hope everyone is doing well today and that all of the colds and Covid are gone.

I do that a lot on those struggly ones. LOL
And it tends to be quite helpful most of the time.
Praying for just that. 🙏
Worth knowing and remembering.
