What on earth has gotten into me?

I'm home from work because Matthew is sick. My accounting homework is all caught up and the TV is turned off. I could be washing dishes or doing puke smelling laundry. But no, I'm blessing the world with another insightful blog.

You're welcome.

There is this sign in Provo that irks me. La Quinta Inn has this fancy schmancy LED screen that they use to announce to the world their amenities. Whoever is in charge of that sign has never been told that "less is more". Why do we need a waving flag that has letters superimposed on it announcing the time?

It gives me a headache.

Last year, we figured out that Matthew is red / green color deficient. Did you know that there is a group out there dedicated to educating webmasters about colors that don't mesh well in the color deficient world?

True story!

Half of me wants to march into La Quinta and tell them that I hate their stupid sign and that roughly 10% of the population will have a difficult time reading it, anyway. But the rest of me is thinking that by leaving it the way it is, I'm doing them all a favor.

Seriously, I hate that sign.

:o)

Enough about the sign.

So my dad was color blind and apparently I am a carrier. At first, I felt bad. Like I had robbed Matthew of something. But then, he doesn't know the difference. He's not missing out on anything.

Here are some pictures that show what we see and then what I think he sees. Of course, we won't know which color cone he's missing until he gets older.








Matthew can see the red dress. But, he the grass looks the same to him.

And you wanna hear (um, read) something gross? We have the worst air quality in the nation. When the inversion comes around, the air is brown. But to Matthew, it is green.

Isn't that disgusting?
