I served in the Navy, a plankowner aboard the USS BOSTON (SSN-703) Decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2002. Now I find myself in the unique cradle-to-grave position of helping to care for its remains at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. All that really remain are the sail and rudder shipped here in 2003 along with a few cleats. I feel like I'm caring for a vessel that met a premature and untimely demise. Now I care for her remains. ...Sort of.
Certainly something a clever Nuke Bubblehead invented!

Ya know, I try to find a table large enough for everyone, and what happens? I catch grief even about that!
...sigh!
GRAND RAPIDS-- A fiery object passed over the West Michigan sky Sunday night, with reports from Fennville to Ionia telling 24 Hour News 8 it seemed like a meteor.
People connected with both the Chaffee Planetarium in Grand Rapids and the Kalamazoo Valley Museum believe it was a fireball formed by a meteor passing through the Earth's atmosphere. Based on their reports, they believe it was traveling north to southeast over Michigan.
Estimates place the meteor at 50-70 miles high and about the size of a softball or basketball.
Reports from people that it landed in their backyard are more than likely erroneous. Planetarium officials say that would be an optical illusion caused by the curvature of the Earth.
Eric Schreur of the Kalamazoo Valley Museum said if the object is moving laterally, it's quite a ways away. But if it was falling in your back yard, "what you would see is a bright light that keeps getting brighter and brighter."
Schreur also believes the object burned up before it hit the ground.
I thought we "tabled" that discussion for now?
Gee,someone should have told the meteor that! Right Bruce? Hey! We shelved that subject, said the bubblehead!
...So what should I have responded with? ...A Fiery Reply?
