You've chosen knotty. Blemishes and other marks become part of the feature. And yes, stain on the ground.

An exhaust fan should remove a lot of the airborne moisture, but perhaps that's not the optimal material for that environment? Think of particle board and MDF as sponges made of wood. There will always be a tiny hole or crack, a flaw in the factory finish and moisture will migrate in and out. You might get a few decent years out of the unit but it over time...

For starters, only 29% of the planet's surface is land above sea level so statistically a meteorite is more likely to hit water, all else being equal.

The fragments that hit land may not end up in an accessible area, and may not be easy to find depending on the type of terrain.

Basically, when a fragment lands in Antarctica, it will remain relatively near the surface of the ice and snow cover. The dark or black colour can sometimes absorb just enough energy to warm and melt the icy material around it and become visible on the surface. Broadly speaking, when searchers spot a rocky object on the surface where there are no other rock sources around, it could be a fragment.

Shorter answer: they are far easier to spot against ice and snow.

Looks like you got two choices: up your game, hit the gym and get a couple of tats or find your own place more than two hours away.

put it plainly, even if you went with option 1 sounds like he will immediately turn it up and be all over you again. Being an inconvenient distance away will mostly limit you danger zone to family gatherings

Don’t forget, it sounds like she’s feeling a similar kind of connection which means that she will feel a similar sense of loss. Also learning and growing opportunities for her. No doubt one day she will be going about her everyday business and she will see or hear something that reminds her of you and her heart will be filled with joy.

Be the kind of person who can create joy from old memories.
