Hey, I shattered my humerus (you can look it up) last year, so why not Orion?

Since it's several hundred light years away, it may have already exploded, and we're just waiting for the news report.

It could be today, tomorrow or 100,000 years from now.
Close enough for government funding.

I am personally praying that Jeff Meyerson does not shatter his humerus again in the next few weeks. Last year he did it right before he and his lovely wife left to spend the winter in Florida. Of course they couldn't go and let's just say Jeff does not appreciate a New York winter. btw, he did it by tripping over a step in his hallway but don't tell him I told you this.

Whether it's a shattered humerus, bad humorous or an exploding shoulder, in New Mexico we blame it all on either tequila, Mexican beer or the Roswell space aliens. BTW, the space aliens tell us the 1947 spaceship crash was caused when they discovered tequila.

Le Pet, they discovered too late that you can tell you've had enough when you can hold the shot glass empty up to your ear and hear a bunch of Mexicans laughing at you.

As long as his belt holds out we'll be OK.

Thanks, Cindy. I appreciate that. And I'm being really careful.

At least Uranus isn't exploding.
