This would have been so cool to see, why do I always miss these things? Though I have seen quite a few "falling stars" which I guess are on the same order:

Meteor burns over northeast counties
Residents, officer report hearing sonic boom

An apparent meteor and accompanying sonic boom Tuesday evening over northeast Wisconsin prompted scores of telephone calls to law enforcement authorities, a Shawano County sheriff's sergeant said.
Sgt. Dennis Kleman said reports of the meteor sighting were made in Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, Langlade and Shawano counties between 6 and 6:15 p.m.
Kleman himself spotted the meteor while patrolling in the westbound lane of county Highway A about four miles west of Gresham, he said.
"It had a really bright tail," said Kleman, who noticed a bright flash in his windshield coming from the northeast.
"It came over the top of my squad. It didn't appear to be coming down. It went across," Kleman said. "It went toward the southwest and looked like it extinguished."
There were no reports of the object landing, but it is suspected of causing the sonic boom Kleman and others heard shortly after it flashed.
"It was well up in the sky," the deputy said. "It was just a matter of a second, then it went out."

I am also dedicating this post to one of my associates at work- Dia Wilson. She lost her 28 year old daughter on New Year's Day due to a terrible unfortunate accident in Kenosha. It is always hard to loose a loved one...I know...I lost my mother a few years back...but it must be esp. terrible when an accident happens and the loss is totally unexpected. My prayers and thoughts are with her and I have been thinking of her a lot over the last few days since I was told of her loss by my friend Doris.
"Dia...my thoughts are with you"....Love John
My energy after having had three days off and then back to work today, is all but gone...so it is time to rest and wind down from the day.
It is snowing outside right now and has been since yesterday afternoon. There is probably 3-4 inches on the ground and they are calling for a few more inches before all is said and done by Thursday afternoon. I tried making a snow man but the snow is just a little too light and fluffy.
Oh well...At least it is nice to look at...esp when you are inside in a nice warm cozy little cave....that I call "home".
Good night all.
