HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY FULL MOON!
The last full moon of 2024 will occur early Sunday morning (December 15) in the US and UK. The Geminid Meteor Shower will also be peaking, although the light of the full moon may impair the view of the meteors. This moon will be the Winter Solstice moon.
Last Tuesday (the 10th), my region had multiple meteorite falls as a result of the Geminid Shower. That's when the meteors don't fully burn up in the atmosphere and instead hit the ground.
Many people had security cam and doorbell cam footage of the bright light and the flash as a meteor hit. Others heard booms, and many heard an ongoing rumble like loud thunder (sometimes accompanied by a hissing sound). People also smelled a foul odor like burning metal and smoke.
The meteorite closest to me hit just after 4:00 a.m., so I was in bed. However, I heard the long, loud thunder and my floors shook. I also smelled that ghastly odor.
Many people here didn't know about the Geminids, so they immediately concluded that war had broken out--an indication of the fear and anxiety of our political climate right now.
Everyone have a good week. Love and hugs to all.
I’m sitting here with all doors and windows open to sweep the hot air out of the house. A lovely 18 C this morn and expecting 26 max. Dilemma – which neglected chores?
AQ: Re chores, how about none? Or maybe the most urgent only when the temperature has dropped.
Heather: My Xmas decorations are still on the lower shelf in the garage.....
dibnlib: Oh geez. That's just AWFUL about your friend and her mom. Is step-dad staying at the hospital? That sounds like a long reccovery - and they're a long way from home. Any other siblings to help out?
OG: A 'procedure' for J sounds vague. Enjoy your visit with the hairdresser.
Diane: Wonderful. The two videos I thought had the 'best'' sound were those by Brittany Lewis and Mel Umberto. Were those the two you specified?
