Huge Beetle

Does anybody know what kind this is? If so, post in the comments.

The asteroid 2004 XP14 will be passing within the moon’s distance of Earth in one hour and 33 minutes!

Edit: I saw the asteroid. It’s visible with the naked eye, but I could see some details using binoculars (I had more luck than with a telescope).

I did the Corvallis Triathlon yesterday (1k swim, 12k bike, 4k run). I won my age group, but I think there were only three people in it. I also improved over a minute from last year, with a time of 58:42, but the running course was a little bit different.

Nooo!!! This can’t be happening!

I have to haul and stack this wood.
