House sitting and asteroids

Free rent, privacy, quiet. These are just a few things that house sitters enjoy. When I hear that someone is going on a trip and needs a sitter I jump on the rare opportunity like a fat kid on butterfingers. This temporary change is welcome to someone like me who has tasted the freedom of independence but can't afford to live on his own. I've been here for two days and I love it.

I'm a block away from the Corydon area. I love the fact that my bank, a comic book store and a falafel restaurant are right around the corner. Joy :)



In other news a 400m asteroid came within 200,000 km of our planet, closer than the moon's orbit! It was traveling at 30,000 mph.



I wonder what kind of impact it would have had if it hit Earth.
