Asteroid 2023 BU: Space rock passes closer than some satellites

[Bowhunterwoody]

Yep. They've been talking about it for a few days. Don't think they'd tell us if it was going to be a hit.

[Gingerbeard]

Luck.

Cars in houses? Have you seen our roads?
Eucalyptus trees randomly falling on people's homes? Eucalyptus are notoriously brittle trees.
Airplanes in houses? Yep. We've had a few of those.
Tank vs. motorhome? The national guard armory took extensive measures to make sure meth'd up people cannot steal tanks so easily.

That's dangerous stuff -65F wind-chill. The last big cold blow we had really showed where my house leaked. Most I think was though the garage door from worn out rollers allowing the wind to push the door in away from the seals. Won't know until it happens again but it was a cheap and easy fix putting in new rollers.

Mt Washington, -106 and falling

[Puglover1]

Mt Washington has been getting a lot of press this past week. Winner?

We can see the Great Wall of China up close. But we cannot see it from outer space. How do we know it's really there?

[90Gizmo]

Ripley says you can't. NASA says you can. You are the tie-breaker!

[Rwise]

I think NASA has pics taken from space.

[Gingerbeard]

Ask a Chinese astronaut. Taken from the NASA website: Full article.NASA - China's Wall Less Great in View from Space

Meaningful bit: The visible wall theory was shaken after China's own astronaut, Yang Liwei, said he couldn’t see the historic structure. There was even talk about rewriting textbooks that espouse the theory, a formidable task in the Earth’s most populous nation.

Has anyone else lost the text editing bar above the text dialog box?

[90Gizmo]

Just one guy. Conspiracy theorist took it from there...

[Gingerbeard]

Like Jesus?

[3Berries]

I love it when people have too much time and spare parts.

[Ckbrew]

I wouldn't want to be sitting in that sidecar when they hit the mud.

[Blowdout2269]

Yeah, that sidecar is totally safe...

[Ckbrew]

Canadian style bacon!

Monday evening walks with the puppers. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut. Mom and dad bald eagle weren't too happy with our proximity. Had a blowout tide so could walk a good ways out on the flats.

[Bowhunterwoody]

Nice shed! It'd be nice to find the match, and to see the owner this fall.

[Ckbrew]

"Even a blind squirrel can find a nut" Bumper sticker.

[Blowdout2269]

I'm sure mom and dad weren't happy! But it's sure fun to be close to a bald eagle. Nice shed also.

What's the landmark, your property corner?

[Gingerbeard]

Oh my gods! There is a deer trying to crawl out of the ground!!!
Is that BM on your place?

[Going2fast]

At the corner of the peninsula on park property.

[Gingerbeard]

There is a Geocaching type community for benchmarks. They really are interesting things.

Trying to look at some of the upside of getting old. I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant and I don't have acne. Life is great. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.
Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.
I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row. I decided to stop calling the bathroom "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Old age is coming at a really bad time.
When I was a child I thought "nap time" was a punishment. Now it feels like a small vacation.
The biggest lie I tell myself is... " I don't have to write that down, I'll remember it".
I don't have gray hair... I have "wisdom highlights"! I'm just very wise.
If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees.
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.
Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?
Of course, I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice.
At my age "Getting Lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came In there for.
I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names.

[SoOrbudgal]

Oh did i forget to use my signal? My arm was out the window with my fist closed and i was waving a finger at least sheeesh LOL

[Ckbrew]

Well said

[90Gizmo]

Now when I say that I don't remember, people believe me.
