Got any caves? Last update said it was falling slower and may not splat until after midnight. I wish I had a nice basement, with better reception.I'm Californian. We don't have basements. Is hiding under my bed sufficient, oh disaster-prepared one?
I had better start digging then.Got any caves? Last update said it was falling slower and may not splat until after midnight. I wish I had a nice basement, with better reception.

Not sure if they do in other states, but growing up in L.A. we always had earthquake drills in school, where we'd crawl under the desk as best we could, as if that would protect us if a three-story building collapsed. But this Chicken Little sky-is-falling stuff is way new to me. Figured Dandy D would at least have experience with some of that grapefruit-sized hail I've heard about affecting some places.Cali? Crawl under your Prius? Don't forget to take your Caramel Macchiato, , a jug of herb tea and some of that Wheatgrass.... :chuckle:
One question: Do any of the organizers or Scubaboard staff receive any sort of perks from DP or the hotel or other providers beyond what the regular Invasion attendees receive, such as free or extra-discounted room/board or free dives?
"NASA’s decommissioned Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite fell back to EarthI think they want to avoid people keeping souvenir pieces of the space junk, as well as blaming NASA if they get burned or cut by a piece. The Feds got really mad at some who tried to keep pieces of the shuttle crash. The satellite was expected to crash or splash in the last hour somewhere between Canada, Africa, and Australia. Heard any news?
Edit: It's going for one more orbit! Crash or splash delayed.
"NASA’s decommissioned Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite fell back to Earth
between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday, Sept. 23 and 1:09 a.m. EDT Sept. 24. The Joint
Space Operations Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California said the
satellite entered the atmosphere over the North Pacific Ocean, off the west
coast of the United States. The precise re-entry time and location of any debris
impacts are still being determined. NASA is not aware of any reports of injury
or property damage."
So unless any divers or boats were hit, I guess it's a non-event. Back to our regular programming: Mossman bashing.
