Twelve -- Count 'Em -- Twelve Planets

Well, at least we will have twelve planets and probably more soon if the current IAU proposal to define a planet (more or less) as a spherical body that orbits the sun is voted in. I think the definition is being a bit too inclusive. Something like Ceres or Pluto that is part of the orbiting rubble collection probably shouldn't be a planet.

Our Canadian Cousins

I knew that the charges for calling Canada on our current Sprint long distance plan were high, but $1.50 a minute seems a bit punitive. I think I'll find a service where I just punch through to a different carrier the next time I need to do this.

For a $1.50 a minute, I'd expect to be able to call Luna City. And to tell you the truth, I'd be happy to pay that much if the city were there to call.

(No, decadent_dave, it wasn't your calls doing this -- just one I made a while back.)

Not So Much a Mix

It's not so much a mix as a mash, but I've done a fast mix of Falling Toward Orion with all the extant parts so we can hear what we've got. Twelve songs (out of the fifteen) "mixed" in two hours. Whee!

Swamp Thing, You Make My Heart Sing.

And I'm sure he makes everything groovy too.
