Giving her some space

HAVE A VERY BAD DAY recommends that if you had wished to achieve fame by being struck with any part of the orbitally failed Chinese spacecraft of 2021, or indeed by any other hurtling space junk, that you consider the case of Ann Elizabeth Fowler Hodges. Ann was in the the wrong place at the right time in 1954 Oak Grove Alabama. Her chunk of the Sylacauga aka Hodges, meteorite weighing in at nearly 10 pounds burst through her home's ceiling, caromed off a radio and struck her, ever so painfully, on the thigh. Her landlord subsequently laid claim to it, the failed celestial object, not her section of leg. They fought in court as Annn’s health waned, from other, non space related disorders. A nearby resident, having found a mere five pound chunk of the same meteor, sold it for the value of a new house and car. His thigh was spared the injury and bruised appearance in the world press. So you may wish to be the only half as lucky neighbor of one of the only people ever struck by space debris.
