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.”

Yes, after my row four result, I didn’t think that it was going well...
😧
Good job!
My starter word was a bust, as well!
Some can be tough, but I think it’s because whoever assigns the words (computer?) lulls us into a particular way of thinking and then smacks us.
Cloudy. No rain yet, but overcast for the next week.
If I get to feeling better, I’d like to walk to the library here. Haha. I know the street I’d have to use to get there, and it’s not a nice area. The library is in a nice area, but walking there isn’t. So I’d have to go the long way around. Unngh.
It looked like only one block. Maybe it would be okay early in the day.
Kathleen had a pile of audiobooks in, both CD sets and digital cassettes.
It’s pretty hot here. Jake isn’t speaking to me. James is supposed to start work later this week.
That one block is right through the slums! LOL! It’s probably the shabbiest part of this part of Cabot, but the library doesn’t open until 1000, I think. I’ll have to check it again.
FS is going to come over on Monday and spend some time with me. He wanted to do it today, but he has too many “Honey-do” jobs, since he’s a handyman.
I’m not surprised that Jake is snubbing you. He does that periodically when you’re gone for longer than overnight. Or maybe it’s because this time, he smelled Polly! What a silly cat, is Jake!
Good luck to James on his new job! Is he excited?

That was a tough one! Made it just under the wire.
Yes, James is excited, and Jake is totally avoiding me.
Wishing y'all a blessed and peaceful Labor Day.
Kitteh sez, “Iz it Sundy aready?”
Good morning.
I hope you had a good night and that Jake is still in a snit so he wasn’t a pillow hog.
Another gloomy week ahead, so here’s me, tryna make the best of it! I just have to get through today and tomorrow and I’ll be good! I hope.
Took me a while to even get around to this, but now that I have, I need to go take a shower.
Anyway, today’s effort:

Good Morning!
Somehow, after my lucky second row guess, I was able to convert the three spot...
Allegra, I rarely try the BC approach anymore.... too risky!!

Excellent! With or without coffee!
Good morning!
I hope you have an excellent Sunday.
Jake is still mad at me. Everything went fine at church, and I’m thinking about naptime!
Naptime is always good!
Back from church, which didn’t go all that well. But tomorrow is another day. And I’ll get through that, as well!
