That would do some major damage if it hit any where.

Damn - haven't mowed the grass. Shame if it was the end of the world and the yard looked messy

Be sure to have on clean underwear too. 

Where you been?  Hope you've been OK.

Dino, you should at least have underwear on while your mowing.  Them blades turn pretty fast.

Re: Asteroid flyby

The object missed us this time but it will return and at any given time there are potential Earth strikes from meteors we just cant observe every thing in the heavens so were safe for now.

Hi Zurf, thanks for asking about me. I'm fine, just life is busy, and haven't checked in with Chordie as much as I'd like to. Even the guitar playing has been quiet, which is a terrible sin!!  Don't like to leave it too long,  the fingers get soft. However we are heading into summer down here so theres more incentive to sit outside and warble away with nature!
