As I get older I find myself thinking about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

OK, so it's bright and spectacular, but given most shooting stars are no bigger than a grain of sand, what sort of rock size would cause it, sugar lump, a brick or something more substantial ?

I'd say a space brick, well, something the size of a house brick, it's pretty amazing to see such an event, and reminds you how lucky the Earth actually is having an atmosphere to deflect such things or to partially burn off the meteor itself before it hits...
I think your car looks funny too......
