GOOD FOOD A METEOR AND OUTSIDE KITTY WEEKEND

 Happy weekend!  Well we had a good weekend with a little overhead excitement thrown into the mix.

First up, we had some good food.  2nd Man made this dish using some whole wheat noodles with cubed pork, mushrooms onions and seasonings.  So good.

Jack, the one eyed kitty, eats at the end of the porch so he's not as nervous coming all the way up onto the porch.  He is SO feral, could be a factor of him only seeing out of one eye.  He is probably just having to be extra cautious.

Now for the excitement...

We were sitting here on Saturday afternoon and heard a huge boom.  "J" texted us and said "please tell me you heard that", we did but weren't sure what it was.  She said her windows rattled and plates in the cabinets made noise as well.  We didn't notice that (maybe the house being so new, everything is still tight).  We weren't sure if a plane had crashed or a pipeline had blown up.  Calls started pouring into local media and police.


A couple of hours later, NASA confirmed it was a large meteor, weighing about a ton, streaking through the sky at about 35,000 mph before breaking up just a few miles away.  Though not yet confirmed, it even appears one house North of Houston was struck by a piece that came through the roof, the attic, the ceiling, struck the floor, cracked the slab and bounced back up, hit a TV and went through the wall!  I guess that's what 35,000 mph does, ha. 

We would like to have seen the streak in the sky.

Or maybe not, ha.

  2. Wow!
    We had some excitement Friday even when we heard a huge BOOM and three houses in a row shook briefly. It sounded like 3 huge trees had hit each house simultaneously, but no, that didn't happen. It was a 2.4 earthquake that occurred in and around Chesterfield Co. (outside Richmond), VA. Wow!

    Hugs!
