Did you hear? They've closed Pluto. Yep, it's no longer a planet. I don't know how this happened, or what committe gets to make these decsions, but the latest news is that Pluto is out of the lineup. Did Pluto fail to meet a quota of some kind? All I know is Grade school teachers everywhere are scrambling to come up with new jingles to teach their students the solar system. Let me know if you can come up with anything. And what do they think we're supposed to do with all the Plutos hanging around on solar systems made by millions of children over the years all across the world. Do they think because Pluto just hung out at the end of the song, we can just pluck it off and nobody will notice? If we do that we are just going to have millions of little Plutos lying around NOT being Pluto.
How does a planet suddenly become NOT a planet? I'm pretty sure it's been there a LONG time. Pluto has paid it's dues. It's spent its share of eons spinning in the solar system, efficiently keeping scientist busy wondering and studying. And now suddenly, someone just decides it does not qualify as a planet anymore. This is dangerous, folks. I mean, what's next?
Is the sun not the sun? Is the wind not the wind?
And another thing to think about: I do not think this bodes well for that dog that hangs out with Mickey Mouse.

My biggest fear is that the committee will decide that men that can kill spiders and parallel park are no longer needed.
When will they decide that negative numbers CAN'T exist??? I mean, if you don't have anything, then how can you multiply that??? It would make Math Class a little easier at least!
You've done it, Heidi! You have finally identified who the infamous "They" are....they are the ones who decided Pluto is not longer a planet or a dog for that matter!
(I just found your blog! It's fun to read things about people you actually know)!
