—”New Jersey is a pretty big place. Any specific town?”

As it happened, the heavy end of that falling star crashed through the roof of the Hopewell, New Jersey home.

How do they know it is 4.6 billion years old? Just because the earth *might* be that old doesn’t guarantee that objects from space are the same age.

Cripes! I did not know you needed a permit I will check and see about Ct. I gave my kid a detector and he found a 1812 large copper penny on a old lane across the street, last week he found a 14 caret gold men’s ring with a beautiful opal 6 “ down in the ground at a park near us.

That was the manufacturer’s expiration date - hence the fall to earth 😁

The IRS has included meteors under the millionaires tax...

At 3 A.M., several of the 87,000 new IRS gestapo agents will show up & smash in the front & back doors at the homeowners house...

Hopewell. That’s in Mercer County, NJ. Mercer is nice, upscale.
It was named for Hugh Mercer, one of George Washington’s generals.

Poor guy met a grisly end but he took a couple of redcoats with him.
