Poor Pluto

The International Astronomical Union has voted to remove Pluto from the solar system--as a planet, that is. Now we're down from nine planets to eight. Pluto is now considered a "dwarf planet".

So what is the social significance? Anyone?

Still, let's have a moment of silence for Pluto. You will always be a planet in my eyes.

I am puzzled. How in the world can anyone remember anything about the solar system with a phrase like that?

I will take the initiative to come up with a new memory device to assist our children, our future.

Check back in later...
