A little more low end Fireglo perspective, from 64, 68 and 73 respectively...

Well I worked third for twenty eight years. So to me black is still black.
Actually I never thought about it too much. But I was talking to a eighty five year old friend one day and he seemed to have a remarkable grasp of the different shades of blue. He was talking about them quite a bit due to the passing cars in various shades of blue.
The thing about him too is that he retired from the airforce after thirty years. He was a fighter pilot in both world war 2 and the korean war. Talk about probable sunlight wear.
Your blues and greens made me think of that. I also have a double cab cascade setup of Kustom amps. They have faded now and look much more green than blue. Its easy to tell by looking at the bottoms of the amps that they once looked to be more blue.
My rymthm buddy though swore that I used to have a Blue Kustom set. But not so they are the same amps.

How do we know what I see as red is the same color you see as red? It'll have the same name, but maybe we are seeing something different, but calling it red.

Jerry: An important question. Nothing like being well read is there?

It doesn't take herb to make one think of this.

This is what I mean when I say "subjective", in the posts above.

But when you start telling me about the earth being an electron revolving around a nuclear Sun, in an atom that is part of a small speck of matter in a much larger universe, in an even larger universe, ad infinitum, well, I'd say that was Herb Talk.

Lots of different variations here, from left to right...'97, '85, '04, '03 (BG), '97, '90, '80.
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Wouldn't happen to have anything to do with BidPay would it, Tony?

No Stan, it's the rediculous $65 fee that Western Union want for transferring money to the US!

Whoa. Yeah, I would say it was a tad on the high side!

To add: I once had a guy buy something from me and used BidPay (Western Union) and the money remained in limbo for weeks. He finally had to re-do the entire deal because he couldn't get them to release the money to me soon enough,

Wow, Tony!! That is an inferno.... beautiful!!

Hopefully I've got another FG not far away.

An international bank transfer costs me $25 when I do it direct from my bank (Citibank) to the US. The only down side is that the recipient has to give me all their bank account details. Some get pretty nervous about that, especially if they don't know you from a bar of soap!!
