Meteor shower

First, let’s get what you’re thinking out of the way. I know, you’re thinking this is about Molly Meteor’s friends throwing a bridal shower to celebrate her betrothal to Chester Comet. Ha ha.

Now let’s get serious. I wonder how many wildfires are started by meteor showers. There’s a whole lot of little hot pieces of rock hitting earth every day. I am surprised that no fires were started by the meteors that hit recently near here. As the picture shows, there were lots of them! Landing among all those dry leaves should have touched off something.
I am going to have to launch a pseudo-scientific investigation, then get back to you with the results. Meanwhile, ponder the advice of Smokey Bear, “Only YOU can prevent forest fires.” He must figure we know how to stop lightning. Dumb bear. A totally appropriate mascot for his agency.
