LOL...Look at my post for Jim.....I liked Genetics too.....I'm beginning to

think Jim is a bit of a conspiracy theorist....LOL.

Hey, guys, you know my little bird-breeding project? Well, one of

the baby birds is blue! Finally! THe white bird bred with her

green grandson and procduced a blue baby. I know, yuck! LOL! They

don't know any better. He's his own uncle, too, I think... His

father is his grandfather and his mother is his sister and his

aunt...

Marta

Okay, the green birds have two genes, one for blue and one for

yellow. Yellow plus blue equals green. If they only have a blue

gene, they are blue, same for yellow. No genes at all and they are

white. I also think there is a separate gene for the black stripes.

So, my white bird has no color or stripe genes. The original green

males has all the genes. You can draw a little box with all the

probabilities in it, yada yada yada.

Her grandson necessarily has some " blank " genes from grandma, hence

the blue baby out of a total of five babies. One in five blue, four

green.

LOL, Marta,

You are going to do fine in Oildale, just fine. But dont try talking

all that genetic stuff to the 'daleons, as they wont get it. Just do

the My own grandpa routine....it will be something they understand...

lol

Sharon in Onyx/Oildale...okay so one is really not that far off from

the other.

also, Jim you didnt fool me...You dont get blue from green and

yellow...that makes lime green....

You mix the primaries and get other colors...you blend other colors

to get the variations...

No, I dont got no higher education...ya know frum them fancy

universities...I jest know my colors...

p.s. I grdeated from good ole boy, North High, in thet thar red neck

town of oledale...(yep thets how you sey it...oledale...)

Ah, inertia has CLAIMED my house.

[Guest guest]

I put a litre of diet cherry Pepsi in a pitcher and let it sit on the

counter for several days. Then, to test it, I put some in the blinder. If

there is any " fizz " I know it's not flat.

As for the why, well, there are days I cannot face yet another glass of

water. And I'm right put off of crystal lite for the most part.

Jim

who has procrastinated the day of cleaning for so long, inertia has clamed

my house.
