December 14, 1964
Monday, partly cloudy, windy, cooler, 20's. I sewed on girl's dresses all day. Mailed some Christmas cards to California. Went to church at night to tape music for program.
Comment: And another week starts with Christmas preparations....saw this picture of Vrooman's Nose and it reminded me of how that area looks in the winter....
In searching for this picture I ran across an article about an asteroid impact crater a few miles from Hubbard Hill in the Panther Mountain area: "The impact is
estimated to have occurred 375 million years ago, during the Devonian period, when much of what is now the Catskills was either river delta or a shallow sea. The crater lies 2,640 feet (800 m) below the surface, is 6 miles (10 km) wide, and lies directly under the mountain. The meteorite that struck is believed to have been roughly one-half mile (1 km) wide, striking with a force equivalent to 11 trillion tons (9.9 trillion tonnes) of TNT.[3] Copy and paste the following link for the Wicki article.....
