Deep Impact and the truth about comets

NASA has finally reported on the findings of Deep Impact on comet Tempel 1. What they found was that the comet was actually fluffy, like my fur. Well, not like my fur, but more like powdery snow.

What this might mean is that we need not fear a comet heading to earth. Or do we? Asteroids on the other paw, are a different matter.

Wednesday night means the end of the week is closer and thus the weekend. The days are starting to get warmer. Our first few daffodil flowers are up in the front (one) and a couple out the back so Spring is definitely here. Daffodils will always be a reminder of my brother Fatty, as he loved to curl up inside the ring of daffodils growing around the plum tree.
