Earlier today, I noticed that my satellite TV feed had lost both the picture and the sound. Not all of the channels, just some of the better channels. What was my first thought? Not, did I pay the programming bill. My first thought was ... did a meteor hit the satellite?

It's funny how a recent event (like the one in Chelyabinsk, Russia, where the meteor exploded in the sky) completely change our thoughts. In fact, just yesterday a TV news channel did a story about more meteors or asteroids headed our way. Come to think of it, what's the difference between a meteor and an asteroid? Answer - the damage that they create!

Do you realize your odds of being hit by any space junk? You're more likely to hit the Powerball jackpot twice! So, let's put our thoughts to better use - like deciding who should win American Idol this season.
