We had some excitement here the other morning. We were having breakfast when we heard an odd, low rumbling that sounded either like a distant large diesel truck starting up and taking awhile, or a series of distant explosions. It wasn’t enough to rattle the windows, but it scared all of the birds, including Beaker, who took off and flew to me. It was the meteor that’s been in the news. We knew it wasn’t something normal, but never thought about a meteor. They’ve found pieces of it about 30 miles from here as the crow flies. : ) – Susan Novell Community Chat Moderator [http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq\_rules](http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq_rules) [http://www.ncci.org](http://www.ncci.org) NCCIrregulars Web Site [https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars](https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars) Please read the following before posting in here: [http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy](http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy) ---
