"First invented in 1903, the original Crayola box contained only eight colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown, and black...
Now, there are 120 colors in the Crayola color wheel.
"Stephen Von Worley, a visualization researcher at Data Pointed, created the visual crayon chronology with his pseudonymous friend who he calls "Velociraptor." They...figured out that the average growth rate of crayon colors was 2.56% annually, meaning that the number of colors doubles every 28 years.
"So by 2050, our future children could be coloring with 330 different colored crayons."
I LOVE the multiplication of shades. I love that they require you to be more and more aware of tiny differences. I love the idea that the little gradations will continue to increase. And most of all I love a fresh box of crayons.

I felt deeply cheated when I found the full range was no longer available in Australia when I was looking for my kids.

I hate that classic pigments used by real artists for hundreds of years (Prussian blue, raw umber, &c. ) get retired in favor of “macaroni & cheese”, “fuzzy wuzzy brown”, and “outrageous orange”. And “Indian Red” had nothing to do with the skin tones of native Americans. This is an actual pigment name originally sourced from India. But in the PC world, it had to go, also.
They topped out at 64 when I was young. Far too many were shades of orange and yellow.
Great with a study of Josef Albers!
SCOTCH BROTH!
OK, I think this is the best soup I ever made. I cut the leftover meat off the bone, made curry with it and saved a cup of cubes, and then simmered the bones with remaining meat shreds on them for six hours to make the broth. Then I soaked marrowfat peas overnight and, the next day, sauteed leeks and carrots in butter until soft and added them, the peas, the meat, half a cup of pearl barley, three potatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmered it all morning (I left the bones in) and it was MAGNIFICENT.

Some of you may remember that Moby-Dick has always defeated me. Well, if you're in my boat (hah!) and happen to be within driving distance of Norfolk, Virginia, the Norfolk Academic Guild (a home school co-op nearby) wants to help you out.
Just so you know.

Once was enough. Enjoy.
I'm pretty sure I read that in your class. But that was many books ago.
I made it through a good chunk with the various narrators on the Moby Dick Big Read: www.mobydickbigread.com
I loved Moby Dick and avidly read the whole thing but it was partly because my professor recommended that we suspend all expectations of it being a novel and instead think of it as a natural history of whaling with a story threaded through it. If you don’t expect it to be what it isn’t, it’s fascinating.
