A Sad Week for the Universe

There are two images I can’t get out of my head. The first involves the Disney character, Pluto. Suddenly, I am seeing him dressed like one of the Seven Dwarves, swinging a pick ax and singing “heigh ho, heigh ho, its off to work I go.” The second image is of the mythical god Pluto, straight off his gig in the underworld, standing on stage, doing Rodney Dangerfield’s trademark “I don’t get no respect” routine.

It’s been a sad week in the universe.
