The earliest meteorite with a documented place and date of fall came to Earth in France’s Alsace region in 1492. With a lack of understanding of meteors and meteorites at the time, townsfolk chained the two-foot-diameter piece of stone and iron to a tree to prevent it from escaping.

Knit in a Crochet Magazine??? GRR…
Okay, I’m not really growling. Yes, there are “crochet purists.” I have several crochet friends who will probably never pick up a set of knitting needles (or maybe they will after reading this article). On the other hand, I also have a sweet knitting friend, Janet, who staunchly refuses to crochet. But I forgive her because she makes great desserts.

Hat Not Hate
We live in difficult times. News reports detail racial incidents, vehement political disagreements and hate crimes, including bullying with its tragic effects. Sadly, bullying, especially among children, is nothing new and on the rise. A 2018 USA Today article stated that in a report released by a nonprofit group, YouthTruth, 1/3 of students say they were bullied in the 2017 school year. That’s an increase from 2016, when over one in four students had been bullied. A 2019 Washington Post article cited the rise in online bullying among middle and high school students. Technology is a big factor in this troubling behavior as evidenced by cyberbullying.
