Whew! Another Near Miss!

The news that the 200-foot wide asteroid dubbed DD45 2009 narrowly avoided a collision with the earth earlier this week got me thinking.

Sure, the economy sucks, the advertising and marketing job force is contracting at an alarming rate, my 401k is shrinking faster than a pair of silk undies laundered on hot, and my follicle-challenged pate now has way more salt than pepper in it. But, on the other hand, I didn’t have my molecules rearranged on Monday by a concussive force equivalent to a thousand atomic bombs. You can whine all you want about the current state of world affairs (and I’ll continue to contribute to the cacophony myself, to be sure) but you have to admit, we still have a lot to be thankful for. Sometimes it just takes a bolt out of the blue to remind us.

   chas exactly!

   all my passwords used to read NT7 2017 the year nt7 asteroid will plunge into our atmosphere vaporizing much of it’s impact zone.

   bill bryson talks about an asteroid that passed through the space between the moon and earth, the space equivalent of a bullet hitting your shirt sleeve and not your arm.

   thanks for the update on dd45!
