Bummer, I will be 86. I was hoping to live to 97 years old like my Grandmother.

Let me be one of the last first to wish you a Happy Birthday

Thanks, but today isn't my birthday. I will be 86 in 2036 when the asteroid wipes us out.

Meteorite explosion over Russia injures dozens

I've always been fascinated with things astronomical. Our farm was in the southern part of the Pinelands, so we had dark sky to ponder (a treat for NJ). These strikes may be more common than some impact modelers predict. Here's a link to research I've been involved with looking into this question.
