Were be alright do not worry about it if it does there would be nothing you could do about it anyways

Kind of lazy?.....You should write a few lines about what you are posting, probably a mod will tell you that.

Asteroids pass by our planet everyday, why do you consider this one more relevant?

1.4 ld is close?
at that distance.. im more worried about a gumby

Calling it "small" about 70 feet....

wouldn't want it to hit me...

It would be cool if we could see it.

It is going to pass the moon by about the same amount.

LD is different than AU

1 AU = ~150 million kilometers
1 LD = Lunar Distance = ~384,000 kilometers

There is also a difference in the composition of asteroids compared to comets.

Asteroids are more solid sometimes called "little planets" they do not break up in the atomsphere like comets tend to.
