Is Pluto a planet?

Short answer, no. But for good reason. Reasons I won't get into because I can't contribute to the discussion from an educated standpoint. I'll let the experts do that. Spent last weekend in Seattle. It was warm and the sky was clear. Not a cloud in it. 

The lecture was so much fun. I'm still regaling my kids with facts. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a witty, engaging, and intelligent human. 

We kayaked Lake Union. It was crowded and the sea kayak was a bit narrow. I like a river kayak better. That said, the water felt wonderful and getting out was a fun adventure.

We also went to Olympic National Park. Saw deer. Hiked. Wondered at the mountains. They looked like they were covered in carpets of trees.
