Please let us know when you're asteroid passes through this part of the cosmos so we can get on with the our heartily earthbound bickering.

Death by pecker, that would be fowl play.
Factoid 1:
Astronomers have not been able to forecast asteroid flybys.
http://skytonight.com/news/3306216.html?page=1&c=y A Close Asteroid Flyby
On 14 June 2003, asteroid 2002 MN flew by Earth.
A disturbing detail is 2002 MN was discovered THREE DAYS AFTER its closest passing, within 120,000 kilometers.
No potential asteroid impacts are forecast until at least 2050.
Factoid 2:
According to astronomers, be on the lookout for hemorrhoids and yellow feathers in the rings around Uranus. |

I usually and as a preference read escapist trash, right now I am in short supply of such, But I have a complete Hornblower of CD's that I can read with my laptop.
I am re-reading Clancy's The Bear and the Dragon, second time around.
I just finished Uris' Exodus for the 9th or 10th time.
I am also just about finished Hitchen's piece of dog doo-doo. I read it with a pen and make nasty marginal comments as I go. I am surpised at how well he writes but his research is junk. It is basically a big op-ed piece.
I am on me third or fourth trip through the Old Testament. That is slow and tedious most of the time. |
