Solar Flares
I just heard on the news that Pluto is no longer being considered a planet. I am shocked. Shocked and outraged. Did Walt Disney live in vain? I say we rise up and let our voices be heard. I for one do not want to live in a solar system with only eight planets. We will be the laughing stock of all the other solar systems. They will call us a Mickey Mouse solar system. We can’t let that happen, we won’t let that happen and we can’t let that happen.
I propose a STAR WARS, but this time the good guys will win.

Heh… I did not know whether to cry or to laugh when my boyfriend told me today ‘Pluto is now officially a rock… and some gas’. poor Pluto being called a dwarf planet without even being considered to be a planet. I read this on the internet:
“Seriously! Pluto is not a planet?” asked Michael O’Sullivan, 11, of Garden City, N.Y.
After a moment of thinking, he added: “At least Pluto the dog doesn’t have to compete with the planet anymore,” referring to the Disney cartoon character named after the planet.”
yep, let’s look at the bright side of the matter :)

Hey, there hasn’t been very much solar activity lately, according to my Dad. He says the solar flares are about to start their 11 year cycle and reverse their polarity.
Not sure how this affects anyone in their day-to-day life, but oh well, you can be prepared. Maybe that’s why you haven’t felt good – LACK of solar flare activity! Those darn solar flares, just when you start to depend on them, they let you down.

But apparantly, the clever astronomers have found another planet in our solar system, so we’ve still got as many as before… that’s what the BBC were reporting last week, anyways.

Milla Vanilla – Hehe, always a silver lining! Thank you for the great email, I will try to reply soon!.
Deb – Hmm, so that’s the problem. I thought there were too many solar flares. But in fact there is a shortage. I need just the right amount. Solar flares are my finely balanced drug.
Desiree – Another planet? Why didn’t nobody tell me. What is it called? Goofy?
