January 22, 2015 A potentially hazardous asteroid, at least 20 times the size of the Chelyabinsk meteorite, will approach the Earth on January 26. The rock is expected to fly by at a distance of 1.2 million kilometers. The asteroid, named 2004 BL86 by scientists, is estimated to be between 440-1,000 meters in diameter. 1.2 million kilometers is approximately three times the distance from the Earth to the Moon. According to astronomers, there is no threat of the object colliding with our planet. The Goldstone Observatory, located in California’s Mojave Desert, will observe the asteroid during its approach. A space object is considered potentially dangerous if it crosses the Earth’s orbit at a distance of less than 0.05 AU (approximately 19.5 distances from the Earth to the Moon), and if its diameter exceeds 100-150 meters. Objects of this size are large enough to cause unprecedented destruction, or generate a mammoth tsunami in case they fall into the ocean.

They reached the altar and the waiting groom: the bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand. The guests in the front pews responded with ripples of laughter. Even the priest smiled broadly. As her father gave her away in marriage, the bride gave him back his credit card. ____________________________________________ Three friends from the local congregation were asked: “When you’re in your casket, and friends and congregation members are mourning over you, what would you like them to say?

As January nears the end, I can’t help but get a little excited that Trappers’ Festival is quickly approaching. I believe we have nine fur queens vying for the title & already, posters for the Arts & Crafts Show are up all over town. The town crews have been out cleaning our streets of snowbanks, so things are looking up for our little community. I am hoping we get a little more snow, just so the dog sled teams will have an easier time pulling those sleighs & I’m looking forward to taking in the Queens Pagent again this year. Plus, I’m sure there will be another awesome beerfest with a live local band...

The rifle, which records show was manufactured and shipped by the gun maker in 1882, had been leaning against the Juniper tree for so long that the wood of its stock was cracked and deteriorated from the desert sun, its barrel rusted. “It really is a mystery,” said Nichole Andler, a public information officer for Great Basin National Park. “We know it has been out there awhile because the stock was buried in dirt. But we do not know for how exactly how long.” The remote, rugged area now encompassed by the park, in the high desert of eastern Nevada near the Utah border, was used primarily for mining and ranching at the time the rifle was sold. Great Basin National Park was established there in 1986, known for its 5,000-year-old pine trees and other desert flora and fauna. So far experts have not been able to establish who purchased the gun or where it has been in the 132 years since. It was first spotted in November by a member of a park archaeology team surveying the area and Andler said it might have been overlooked in the past because the gray stock of the wood blended in with the tree.

But since I had been busy all day, dealing with not one but many a business issue, I thought I might enjoy a nice warm fire in my garage, instead of lamenting my long day while dabbing my eyes with a tissue. As luck would have it, I wouldn’t be lonely for too long, as a few friends stopped by to visit & engage me in merriment & song. I quickly lit up the dartboard, as everyone was quite willing to play, I have to admit that I started feeling better, after my long & difficult day. We played a couple games, when a couple more friends stopped by to see how things were going & by midnight we were all having a really great time, with our dart teams doing a lot of throwing...
