I think I saw 39 on this monitor--but actually at one count I thought I saw 40, mostly because I "divided" one bar to the same width the adjacent ones, so I don't know for sure. I may be seeing less than 39 but imagining a change at the right special interval? I do extremely well on the Munsell Hue Tests, especially for a male, so I have a high level of discernment, I guess. I am saying this not to brag, but to point out that it apparently does not have much of an effect about how much I care about how well colors match. When I read threads about people who agonize about the whites of their tiles and fixtures being "off" or not matching, or a color in a fabric not being right, I often look at and think "Who cares? It looks close enough to me." But I wonder if, because I do have a high level of hue discernment I do pick up a lot of "mismatch" but forgive it, because I "see" it so frequently.

Hey! This is my first time posting in the bird section. Anyway, I thought I would share a couple pictures I took a couple months ago when the weather was colder here in the Midwest. I see at least 16 cardinals but I think there are closer to 20 (the ones that aren’t bright red are harder to see). I’m a beginner when it comes to this stuff. Probably a little over a year ago (or longer) I found myself in Walmart, stopped, and looking at bird seed. Not only did I find it odd that I was looking at bird seed, but it was confirmation I was getting old HAHAHA… Furthermore, I bought the seed. I placed seeds on my back deck rail and would watch the birds in the morning as I drank my coffee. After about a week I found myself getting more and more birds. Then I started feeding them at lunch time. Before long, I told my husband it was time to buy a bird feeder. I bought the cheap ones but they have held up. Long story short, I started with a bag of seed, which lead to one bird feeder, which eventually lead to several feeders. I don’t use them all during the summer months. I’m also starting to look for higher quality feeders. I bought my first droll yankee feeder the other day at Walmart (finch feeder). I was so excited too. I was at Lowes first but didn’t see any finch feeders I liked. Plus, they were all made in China. So I checked out Walmart and was happy to find an American made feeder. I started seeing the yellow finches within about 3 days of putting the feeder out there. Far away view from my back porch... close up (sorry it's blurry)

We have a sofa and chair that we purchased from a friend's estate sale. They were in a formal living room and were not heavily used prior to us purchasing them. However, they were already 10 years old when we bought them and we have had them for 18 years. I had them reupholstered six years ago and the couple who did the work said they were still in excellent condition. We use them everyday. They have 8-way hand-tied coils and the frame is kiln dried hardwood. I think if you look for those 2 features you will be on the right track for a quality sofa. My sofa is from Key City Furniture in NC but they are no longer in business.

When I first saw this I was on my iPhone and couldn't see any. Now on my PC I see several although my mature vision can't see 20. Nice shot. Thanks. tj
