We are grateful to the Red Cross, police, fire department National Guard, and volunteers for rescuing us in this blizzard. We had a super generator installed, but the snow came so fast and so much of it, we couldn't get to it to turn it on. It was getting so cold, so we called 911 and they sent the police to take us to the shelter at the middle school. I would not hesitate to go again. They monitored my asthma to be sure I was alright and professional chefs came in to cook delicious food. We are appreciative to all of these people who helped us.

Comet, meteor, asteroid, meteorite, shooting star? What's the difference? I'm so confused.

No, events in the sky don't interest me much. I'm much more concerned with what's happening here on the ground.
