12th Rock from the Sun and other News

An artist's rendering of Xena … officially known as UB313 … now the 12th and farthest planet from the sun.

well since blogs are traditionally supposed to focus on news and current events what can I say

• Terror Alerts - not relevant to my life. A shame for those directly affected
• War in Israel - as above
• Rising energy costs - c'est la vie
• Soldier pardoned after 90 years - no before time, but doesnt compensate his family for his shortened life.
• 12 Planets - or 8 plants and 4+ plutons (I do hope they stick with Xena as a name; and they could call any accompanying moon Gabrielle) Will make the astrologers have to have a rethink.

As can be noted current events and news are intersting but not particularly important in my life
