Some interesting confluences today:

On this date in 1974 the fossilized remains of "Lucy," a 3.18 million-years-old female hominid, are found in Ethiopia; she is named after The Beatles' song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. On the subject of skies — and the things that sometimes fall from them — today in 1954 a nine-pound meteorite slams into the home of Liz Hodges in Sylacauga, Alabama, striking her. Talk about paths crossing! (It is the first such incident involving a person.) Still looking skyward, Halley's Comet whizzes by on this date in 1835. And finally, with shooting stars and flashes of orange in mind, today in 1940 actress Lucille Ball weds Cuban musician Desi Arnaz.
