Color

Wow! It's a hot one today! I guess I'll stay inside and finish off the post I started on June 9th or so, and then start a new one for today.

So anyway, I think I saw fireflies last night by the corner where the Cottonwood detour starts. I wasn't positive on this, and I was running late so I had to keep going. I shut the lights off for part of the detour to see if I could verify that I'd seen the fireflies, but it ended up being too light to see if the fireflies were in the ditches and too dark to comfortably drive with the lights off. But anyway, I still like seeing them every summer.

And this ties in with what I wanted to blog about today.

Someone out there has developed a seedless watermelon. Research has been done so that daylilies come in probably hundreds of colors and color combinations. Why hasn't someone done the same for the dandelion?

A seedless dandelion with a variety of colors! No more lawn maintenance! Woo hoo!
"Hey neighbor, where did you get that sweet purple dandelion? I've gotta get some of those for my own lawn!"

I'm talking about a World Happiness kind of thing, here!

And how about my little firefly friends? They are neat as they are, and maybe the sexes wouldn't be attracted to each other if their little @$$e$ were red and green and pink and blue instead of that whitish-yellow that they come in.

And they are, after all, living creatures doing their own thing.

So rather than develop new strains of bugs ('cause we still have plenty), how about making bug zappers that have color changing bulbs?

I'm tellin' ya, put a couple of those next to each other and the fireworks display would provide HOURS of entertainment! Just think of the reductions in pesticides!

Once again, your host. Single handedly saving the planet. :)
