Inane and pointless is back.

@Ducati09 , outside our garage is a basketball pole with no backboard. This would be a great place not to play basketball.

@rachel8 It seems also to not have a basket.Makes it even better place to not play basketball.It rained a little bit just now.I think it might rain a little bit more as well.

Yes, you're right, obladie -- there's no basket either. In my mind, the hoop and backboard go together. Now that I think about it, though, when I was a kid I did once see an old basketball pole and basket with no backboard, somewhere in New York City. Anyway, here near our driveway, a huge tree branch had fallen on the backboard and broke it, rendering the set-up an eyesore. My husband had removed the backboard and hoop and never replaced them. But this conversation is pointless unless someone out there wants to come over and replace my backboard and hoop. I kind of miss them.

A meteor has not fallen on my property today, if a meteor does impact here today, I am unprepared to do in situ analysis. Maybe Amazon has a kit.

@morphyms1817
In that respect your property has much in common with mine.Does your property have lawns on it?Mine does.I will mow one of them today.One of my goldfishes died last monday.I forgot to tell you .
To analyse a meteor pick it up.If it is really hot,then it's a meteorite.

"a piece of rock or metal that has fallen to the earth's surface from outer space as a meteor. Over 90 per cent of meteorites are of rock while the remainder consist wholly or partly of iron and nickel."
Don't waste money on a kit..just take a guess.

This is my favorite thread so far, i will jinx it now, but keep going anyway please.

#9 @obladie A wife inviting her husband for dinner in a pub! Wow... That got to be the most romantic thing, any woman could do to her partner. I want a marriage like that.

If a meteor falls on private property in Denmark, it will legally belong to the government, but they will pay you a finder's fee of somewhere between 500-5000 DDK per gram of meteorite.
But on the plus side, if you walk on any beach and find some amber, then it is yours and tax-free.

NaturalBornTraveller, obladie and his wife once were attending a wedding reception when it was announced that it was their thirtieth anniversary that very day! They were asked to share some words of wisdom with the newlyweds. Mrs. obladie said, "Well, I've learned that probably the most important words in a marriage are 'You're probably right.'"

Then everyone looked expectantly at obladie to see what he would say. Obladie nodded to his wife and said, "She's probably right."

We went to the growers market today and we bought some eggs plus other stuff.But not meat.We have got plenty in the freezer.

I just had some sparkling white wine called Henkel.Never heard of it before.It's very nice.It's German.In the mornings I feed the fish,the wild native birds and the dog in that order.They don't eat the same things.
