Twice in the same year! On the other hand what can we do? I guess that's one good thing it would be instant death at or near ground zero. That's where I'd want to be. If its not too big a rock or ice those that survive about the rest of the world are going to suffer a lingering horrible death. It can or will one day happen.

Hi,

   Given the size, it's not likely to be found at any greater range,
except by chance.  Space is really big, that rock isn't very.  That
one would have made a nice light show, but not much else on a
practical matter.

   Here's a link on one that did hit recently.

no more taxes

[Bill Cravener]

I look at it another way. :bg

No more good looking Women.
No more riding my Bike.
No more Steak and Eggs.
And (how awful the thought) no more Beer.
