Chula Vista

I've eaten meatloaf.

Just witnessed one of the coolest things ever. Went out to get some takeout and as I'm walking back to the car the night sky just exploded. Everyone in the parking lot was stopped in their tracks wondering WTF! Is this War of the Worlds for real?

Massive bright smoke cloud and then two shiny objects flying out of it. One kept going straight with a massive vapor trail following it. The other just kinda fell really slowly.

Got home and had Linda come outside to see the remnants of it all. Got back in the house and there was a breaking news story on TV:
