Pippa passes. Language! It's a virus!

 Pluto is hazier than expected and appears to be covered with flowing ice, leading to a better understanding of what music is: What is its power? and how do people respond to it?

Power Ranges!

Pluto explorers now plan to delve deeper into the repertoire of Romantic composers. It’s time to restore the early techniques to try to bring us even closer to the way music sounded at the time of Beethoven.  Laurie Andersen said although sound is a mechanical wave that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving. If a sound wave is moving from left to right through air, then particles of air will be displaced both rightward and leftward as the energy of the sound wave passes through it. The motion of the particles is parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction of the energy transport.

Parallel Is exactly like Where you are right now.  Only much much better. I saw this guy on the train And he seemed to gave gotten stuck In one of those abstract trances. And he was going: "Ugh...Ugh...Ugh..." And Fred said: "I think he's in some kind of pain. 

I think it's a pain cry." And I said: "Pain cry? Then language is a virus!" 

Spring clouds dance with joy, and seem to say it all.

We owe it
