It's the middle of may now. May was about politicians being scrutinized by the courts. We had Donald Trump taken to court for suspected fraud then later being accused of sex crimes. Then we had the packistan prime minister taken to court because he was accused of corruption. My mind was elsewhere the whole time.
I was thinking about the veranda house. A house I would build If I had a lot of wealth and planning permission.
I was thinking about what the house would do. It is slightly pyramid shaped; each level is smaller than the level below so it yealds to outside space. The ground floor is a veranda that goes all the way around. The second floor is bedrooms next to a balcony lawn. The top floor is the man cave room and workshop along side water tanks. The water tanks collect rain water from the roof and use it for the washing machines. The warm grey water that comes from the back of the washing machine would then go into more water tanks and be used flush toilets. The top roof and walls are covered in solar panels. The warm water would help to keep the house warm instead of just going straight down the sewers.
Then I was thinking about planets. I wonder if people know we now look directly at planets in other solar systems. Mini Neptune planets are very common in the universe. Neptune is a giant gassy planet, we need a telescope to see it so the ancient people didn't know it was there. There are many gassy planets in the universe that are about half the size of Neptune, many people think they're super earths that accreted too much gas on the surface. It's strange there is no mini Neptunes in our solar system that we know of. Maybe there is a 9th planet in the solar system we haven't discovered yet.
I was thinking what would happen if Pluto was reclassified as a planet. They would have to call all the other dwarf-planets planets, Ceres, MakeMake and Sedna, we would end up with at least 15 planets on the chart.
