Yes!! Interesting.
" a fact that stands out is that asteroid 2017 OO1 is about three times
as big as the house-sized asteroid that penetrated the skies over
Chelyabinsk, Russia in February, 2013, breaking windows in six Russian
cities and causing more that 1,000 people to seek treatment for
injuries, mostly from flying glass."
For whatever reason, I'm reminded of just over a year ago.
I'd had a medical incident. A carotid dissection.
The doctor was showing me the MRI, and this big dark
spot that was I guess a blood clot in my neck.
He said, we don't think this will come lose and cause
a stroke.
I asked why he thought that.
His response was, "because if it was going to, it probably
would have done that already. Then we would not be here talking."
Struck me as kind of unnerving!!
"Woosh!"
I guess, all things considered, I should not get too
frustrated about mild headaches, or making more mistakes
than I ever used to.
