With a "bigger picture" race coming up on Saturday, I made a futile attempt to take it down a notch and not bury myself at this race. That is always easier said than done...
Final placings were almost identical to last week.
But far more importantly, I just heard that Pluto has been given the official designation of a "Plutiod" for which I could not be any more thrilled. The sheer thought alone that a celestial body at a distance greater than Neptune with a mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (near-spherical) shape, aaaaaaaaaaand that it have not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit seemed totally obvious to me, in Pluto's case.
