Interior Designer: "Consider your color pallet"
Me: "OK I've got my color pallet right here and I'm considering it."
"Really?"
"Oh yeah. Color pallet. I'm on it. Have one."
"Can I see it?"
"No."
"That's just a color wheel."
"AND?"

None of the kitchens in the "small kitchens design ideas" are as small as my kitchen.

My kitchen is pretty luxurious. It has a high ceiling and a sky light. Built-in original cabinets to the ceiling. It's also basically a short hall way with a sink, stove and fridge.

In a suburban home it'd be called a "kitchenette" or something like that.

Island? What is that?
"statement piece" brother we have no room for "statements" in this hall.

I know this sounds tame, but it was not. It was total chaos in there and I will need to think about this the next time I'm in my kayak.

I should say more about the "fish" ...

They had a "Long Island Sound" fish tank, it was huge with circulating water and it was full of the most wacky fishes I've ever seen.

I had NO IDEA there were goofballs like this in long island sound:

The tank was very active and the fish would LOOK AT YOU.

They also have an awesome collection of cave crystals in every color of the rainbow and some very nice fish.

Don't miss it! There were so many amazing (and very accurate) models. I thought at first "why do I need to see a model when I've seen a thousand photos of these ants?" But you get a whole new perspective.

Get to Greenwich by May or you'll miss it! You will miss "Hormiga Balrog"

@alexwild

It looked really good!

The joyous sound of machines no longer makes happy music in our halls

I assume I would hear a cat pounding on the door and meowing mournfully since I have gone in The Water and will probably die and not be able to feed her because of it.

I don't think a #PicaTheCat proof door or type of insulation exists.

There were many large format photos by @alexwild I wonder if they will send this on tour to other Natural History museums.

Getting to see the nest models in person was the highlight for me. I've only seen photos of them in books.

And of course the giant ants.

@floatybirb

Another use is "giving futurebird nightmares" I don't like how he's holding the door open like "get in now"

I don't like it at all.

@detondev

You mean how many victims were there? We won't know until the court case I suspect.

@sabik @Routhinator

It doesn't really do what they say. This can only go on for so long.

"The tank has many uses."

NOPE

@djsumdog

They are CUTE.

@akamran

The one that looks like pancakes? That's Pogonomyrmex badius, FL harvester ants. They have massive nests. That's not even a big one...

That said, since the nests weren't labeled I enjoyed working out which species went with each nest, maybe it could be a kind of game.

Put a button by each species card and the correct nest lights up!

"The Bruce" is a remarkable little Natural History and Art museum in Greenwich, CT. If AMNH is a five course meal, with three course dessert and brunch the next day. The Bruce is a bento box. Delightful, not overwhelming and a perfect day trip from the city.

The ant exhibit had many, photographs, dioramas and models. Children and adults will find lots to enjoy.

I only have one small criticism. The castings of the ants nests need to be numbered so you can identify which species they belong to.

@alx @Uair

All I want is a tee with some nice graphic art of a column of eyeless driver ants escorting their massive queen, flanked by the soldiers with their mandibles wide... and "god forbid women do anything" in the "live laugh love" font.

This is a happy ending although this may be how she feels about it:
