Yesterday while sitting out at the park table reading my Sky & Tel. the
other people where talking and then the trailer park owner came over and sat
down, seeing my magazine, he asked what was new and as he asked (his mistake
not mine) I told him about the IAU and what they where working on and the
vote would be this next week.

he then came up with one of his totaly off the wall things, that what where
they going to call things that where planet in size but did orbit around any
sun. I said that it would still be a planet if it was big and basicly round
it would be a planet. Then he came up with something else that was so far
out in left field it off this planet ;} and then he said the IAU didn't
matter to him, that to him they where nothing and because of that they did
not mean anything to anyone on earth. I turn around and looked at him and
said that in the over all way of life that he amounted to ZERO and that the
IAU wouldn't ever take note of him anyway, that he'd better go up to his
church of druggers and go pay for their habbits.

Oh can you say "He got mad and left the table"???



The park owner has as much clout with the IAU as the IAU has with the
park owner. Looks like they both can survive without each other.
