I investigated the size of the meteor that hit. I had thought it was 1/2 mile wide but it turns out I was way off, it was 6 MILES in diameter. WOW! It even caused earthquakes I found out.

I keep thinking of eclectic topics and then within 24 hours I hear or see info on the same topic. Synchronicity or coincidence. This happens to me for some reason every month or so. Weird.
