I'm live the band of snow area and I'm hoping Santa brings some global warning for Christmas.

I remember this when it was first reported in 2002. I think they identified it as an upper stage of a US mission, maybe a Saturn 5 Moon mission? It had been in a solar orbit playing gravity tag with Earth and then got captured in 2002. It stayed with us until mid 2003 and then "danced away" again, orbiting the sun on its own. Apparently this type of orbit repeats and there are asteroids and all sorts of junk to follow or precede us in our orbit.
Empty space ain't empty. It's a very busy pool table, and we're the 8 ball.

What a shame, that humongous girl has a cute face. Too bad its attached to a 400lb body.I think that's a wee bit more than 400 lbs.

One of these Christmases, I'm going to be snowed in and unable to get to my relatives' house. What a depressing possibility....

Such a pretty girl; it's a shame she's so screwed-up-in-the-head.

Sounds like an invading pod of bug-flavored sphincterhangers. In a worst case scenario, it's a hoarde of drunken-balled clamflossers.

"I'm on my way to Texas!" Be careful. It's been snowing most of the day here. We may have 2 or 3 inches of snow accumulation by morning.
Of course, here, it just freezes over and becomes a slick sheet of ice under a deceptive crust of snow.
Stay safe.
