This asteroid was classified by NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) as a Near-Earth Object. The asteroid was detected on October 9th.

It was 111 feet in diameter. It was traveling at 22,000 mph. We will meet it again on October 14, 2021. It was about 930,000 miles from Earth.

Asteroids orbit the Sun at different distances based on which they are classified as Apollo, Aten or Amor asteroids.

The massive Apophis 99942 asteroid is, by some such as Neil deGrasse Tyson, one that could cause a tsunami on the West Coast of the U.S. in 2029. It is 370 meters wide.

Another asteroid, Asteroid 2019 OK passed by Earth last week but it didn’t wake me up. You?

Some asteroids zoom by on a parallel to Earth and some cross paths. The ones that cross paths are Aten asteroids.

So what is all of this about asteroids?

Well, a MASSIVE 650 meter across droid will come by on November 21, 2019.

Whew, at least I will celebrate my birthday. Big 70 this year.

I must also mention the Yarkovsky Effect.

“This is when the soft force of sunlight can steer asteroids into Earth-crossing orbits and drastically alter the layout of their paths across the solar system.”

As much as I love writing about space I must call it a night — or morning.

I have to get to work on the other story.

You are reading an article in my publication “Finite Wisdom”. This is where you can find basic, beginner entry stories on space, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, etc.

Another publication is Centering Yourself. We look at ancient methods of Contemplation, Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina among others. Come join us. Or even better yet, consider writing for these publications.

Thanks for stopping.

A Stay on the Duluth Waterfront Part Two

February 3, 2018

You may want to read my first post on this subject "A Stay on the Duluth Waterfront (Almost).

I am sitting in a room at St Mary's/Essentia again.

I had a six-day break while I was at Ecumen rehab and a less than full day at home.

This visit will tone down my effusive praise for this facility. I don't mean to denigrate the facility because the issue is really with the healthcare system.
Men of a Heavyset Form FactorA few caveats for men over 280 pounds. 

The commodes for use at the bedside are too small.

The hospital has at least one powered commode that appeared on my last day. I didn't get a chance to use it. 

Also, risers that fit over the top of a toilet are available but they too are a bit small for my size. 

You will also need a bariatric walker. Yes, the smaller aluminum ones work but you will be immensely more comfortable using the heftier one.


The ProblemNow the crux of this post. It is not specific to St Mary's but it is a glaring screwup in the …

Sleep Soundly My Friend

Sleep Soundly, My Friend

Have you ever had trouble falling asleep?
Have you ever gone days or even weeks without a refreshing, recharging sleep?
You know then of what I speak.
I had trouble sleeping as long as I can remember and even longer.


THIS IS A LONG WINDED INTRODUCTION
In 1997, I was working in the porch on our house.
I was stripping paint from the narrow beadboard woodwork.

It was a long, tedious, and exhausting project.
After using a gel stripper to remove the paint, I still had to sand where each strip of board met up with the one next to it.
This was taxing when I was working overhead. It has extremely punishing work on the neck and shoulders.
Well, I finally finished the overhead part and began work on the door frame and was not doing the walls or window frames.
Hopefully, when completed it would appear that the stripped and varnished parts would be an accent to the white walls and window frames.
This was a porch built in 1927 so there were a …
