Well, what do you know? The majority of astronomers agreed with me. Pluto has been demoted. Of course, not everybody is happy with this development. My daughter, in fact, laments the loss of the ninth planet and is singing the blues over it. Well, not actually the blues, but you get the idea. Of course, it all makes me wonder. Just who are these astronomers who can just casually toss out a planet? Who elected them? Why didn't I get a voter's pamphlet? Shouldn't this be like countries recognizing other countries, where each planet decides if they recognize the other or not? Anyway, it's nice to have such trivialities to occupy me.
