Chelyabinsk Event

The headliner on Friday in real-estate crazy Vancouver...something about Donald Trump and his hair coming to town?...

In other news...A bus-sized space rock burned and boomed across the early morning sky over Chelyabinsk, population one million. For a few quick heartbeats, the meteor blazed brighter than the sun. Had it struck the earth it might've gone bang equal to 20 Hiroshimas.

The meteor air-burst perhaps 30 miles high. The shockwave damaged 3000 buildings in Chelyabinsk, shattered countless windows. 1100 people were injured, mostly by flying glass. People had rushed to windows to see...whatever it was...blazing brighter than the sun.

It's winter in Chelyabinsk. Minus-7 Celsius early Saturday morning. Shattered windows means for some folks it's as wintry cold inside as out. Emergency repairs are underway. Naturally.

One scary nugget worth paying attention to: a post-event statement blurted by one Russian nationalist, absolving the indifferent sky of any blame, and attributing Friday morning in Chelyabinsk to an American weapons test. Seriously.

And...De Donald's gonna build his tower in my Vancouver... .

Climbing rainy Manitoba Street. Gutter's gurgling like a forest creek. They cut these roads 100 years ago. Buried all the creeks

Where are the post-Christmas candy canes...on sale? I see Valentine's chocs, racks of 'em. Maybe I over-slept...one month plus.

Crows. Crows squabbling. Crows cawing over last night's sidewalk vomit, east of McDonald's.

Old Chevy's in the shop for a little TLC. I'm walkin'. 2 miles. I need the exercise. Drizzly Saturday groceries getting.
