Steaming crap makes damn good compost if you stack it, turn it over now and again and leave it for a year. That's excellent news!

A 100 foot asteroid will miss the Earth tonight by only the width of the Earth. ~26,000 miles. Good news

The good news can scare people too.

When dealing with orbital dynamics the width of a moving object needs to be measured over time of encounter and has a much greater virtual width while actual width will not change.

Otherwise i.e. you would bump into a lot more fat people in the train station.

If you have all speed mass and heading measurements exact you could just use calculus while ignoring gravity and time corrections which is close enough for jazz.

Too bad the asteroid will miss, its made of solid gold.

The water trickling, then streaming out of the yard was on my side of the water service instead of the water company's side. So I "got" to pay for the repairs. No new car this year. Or next. Or the year after that. It was quite an adventure. Learnt a lot about construction practices over the decades including but not limited to materials, work ethic, and building codes. The good news?

It was an adventure. No one died. No one went to jail. No houses were burned, flooded, blown away. So the good news is that I won't need any service pipe again for 40 years, by which time, WFC?, cause I'll likely be somewhere other than in this life. And that pork chop for dinner was the best! So yeah, good news!

I've caught seven mice in my humane traps in the outhouse this week. Or did I catch the same mouse seven times. I only found out today that mice home and that I should be letting them go at least two miles from the house. It's been 300 yards up to now. Things are going to change. I cannot be beaten by a mouse or two/three/four/five/six/seven...

Next time you take the mouse out for a ride down the road,
blind fold it and play loud music to disorientate it's sense of direction...
You could also tie it up and take incriminating photos
posing it with a toy mouse dressed in dominatrix costume.
Then threaten to make the photos public it comes anywhere near your property again...

might work.....
