An effort to describe the diversity of birds led to one of the first modern color systems. Published by Smithsonian ornithologist Robert Ridgway in 1886, A Nomenclature of Colors for Naturalists categorizes 186 colors alongside diagrams of birds. In 1912, Ridgway self-published an expanded version for a broader audience — Color Standards and Color Nomenclature — that included 1,115 colors. Some referenced birds, like “Warbler Green” and “Jay Blue,” while others corresponded to other elements of nature, as in “Bone Brown” and “Storm Gray.”

whos ready for more fun with the annoying shithead plumber? the kitchen drain pipe from my upstairs neighbors sink has sprung a leak somewhere between apartments (probably in mine) and is leaking inside the wall. so this one wont be an easy fix. not looking forward to it.
Take a peak outside tomorrow morning at 6:00am (eastern) for the largest (i.e., closest) super moon since 1948. You won't see a comparable one until 2034. (Yeah, okay, 6:00am is just the absolute closest time, but it won't really matter to the naked eye exactly when you see it starting, oh, about now....)
not sure but i think it might be baby having time at my upstairs neighbors apartment in a birthing tub about 10' above my bed. hearing what i imagine to be the occasional yelp along with an unusual amount of scurrying. my only question is what will be delivered first -- the baby or my fresh direct order? only one is guaranteed by noon. your move, baby.
