My cousin Jon Thomann has been in the hospital the last week. He fell down a flight of concrete stairs and did some major damage to his head that required brain surgery. He has not fully become consious yet, but there are indications that he is becoming more active. This has been a trying time and has been hard on all of us.

Please pray for his recovery. If you would like to know more about his current situation, his girlfriend, parents and brother are keeping us all updated with this website/blog:

Color Mixing

2007-08-10T11:57:00.000-07:00

When you mix true red, green and blue light you will get white. When you mix red, green and blue paints you will likely get a messy brownish color. Primary colors in true light are red, green and blue. Primary colors in painted colors are yellow, blue and red. Mixing real light (like in theater or on a computer screen) is additive. Mixing painted color is subtractive. The more paint you add the darker the color you'll get until you come to middle grey toned icky brown mess... true light is much neater to work with than paint, and we find it more and more in art galleries these days, but it's also ever present. Something else that you may find a bit odd... colors that we see are really the colors of the spectrum that bounce off of objects and show up visible to our eyes. All other colors in the spectrum that are actually absorbed by the objects... so when we look at something we are really seeing it as the opposite color that it is in reality since the object is really absorbing all the colors of the spectrum that we don't see bounced back off of the object. Just something to think about....

When climbing on roofs

Always make dang sure to have a partner hold the ladder or take a cell phone with you up there so you can call 911 or a friend in case you are by yourself and get hurt or the ladder falls and you get trapped.
