Indeed, the scenery here resembled certain areas of the moon’s surface even
more closely than the land around the city of Luna on the map. Was it six
months now or longer that he had been pouring over that map in his library when
for the first time he had heard Luna’s footsteps passing high above his
head—although it probably had not been Luna at all?
He threw down his pack and took shelter in the shade of the ruined hut.
Surrounded with stinging nettles, which where were growing rampant here, and a
swarm of flies which refused to be beaten off, he carefully surveyed the
landscape before him.

A black moon season occurs this July, on the 2nd and 31st. I hope to have the Exercise completed in that interval.
"Sorby's careful analyses demonstrated that eggshell colour was determined by substances that were also in blood and bile, but did not produce those colours in the way that many of his predecessors thought. [...] Essentially what he previously deduced about the colours in plants turned out to be true of eggs, too, and was due to the 'relative and total amount of a limited number of definite and well marked substances.'
Sorby gave his seven eggshell pigments some horrible names, although they are logical and decodable, most obviously those with the prefix 'oo' which simply means eggs: (1) oorhodeine, (2) oocyan, (3) banded oocyan (the band here refers to a band seen in the spectrum during analysis), (4) yellow ooxanthine, (5) Rufous ooxanthine, (6) an unknown red and (7) lichnoxanthine.
We don't need to worry about these names because, even though subsequent studies gave them different and equally difficult names, there are in fact really just two classes of eggshell pigments, protoporphyrin and biliverdin, both of which are involved in the synthesis and breakdown of haem, the iron-based substance that gives red blood cells their colour. I realise these names are tricky too, but there are only two of them.
Porphyrin, which is responsible for the reddish-brown colours, is generally referred to as porphyrin-IX (the 'IX' refers to an aspect of its chemical structure) to distinguish it from other porphyrins that are so widespread in biological materials they have been referred to as 'pigments for life'.
Biliverdin was what Sorby called 'oocyan' and is responsible for the blue-green colour of eggs (oo = egg, cyan = blue/green). It is a breakdown product of haemoglobin, and is also responsible for the green colour sometimes visible in bruises. It is worth pointing out that it is the mixing together of these two pigments that gives eggs their wonderful tonal quality, which, of course, contributes to their enormous visual appeal as natural works of art."

"By 1862 the mood is changing. The blue buzz of the fly that comes between her dying eye and the lighted window is not ecstatic. Its stumbling uncertainty, which projects the stumbling, failing mind, is the eeriest element in the poem, unless it be the cold blue that portends death (465). Less successful but still interesting is a drowning poem in which the billows toss her up like a ball and make 'Blue faces' in her face (598). An 1863 poem remembers icicles prickling 'blue and cool' on her soul the day she foresaw the loss of her happiness (768). In still another 1863 poem the love, hope, or happiness is a little brig overtaken by blast and sunk in a storm. The poet adds that 'Ocean's Heart' is 'too smooth—too Blue' to break for this little boat. The boat appears to be lover's indifference. An 1864 poem describes the heart as measuring in 'Blue Monotony' like the sea until it is overtaken by the hurricane of suffering (928). Here it may be difficult to determine which condition is preferable. Monotony is rarely attractive, however, and Emily Dickinson appears to prefer storm, even though painful (Patterson, 1964, p. 84).

Not finding relief in the associations, I am glad that I rarely see that person in my work life. Soon, I will be leaving my workplace, and minimizing the incidence further.
In my experience, the bluster and arrogance displaced to one's subordinates in a surgical specialty is proportionate to advancing age and adverse outcomes. Symptomatic medical management begins with the realistic pessimism that the cases co-occur with accelerating age and comorbidities, with less chance that behaviors will change; so when there is a temporary reprieve, there is the miraculous resiliency of the human spirit. Or throwing everything against the wall, and hoping something will stick. There is cultivation of practice, so I am attracted there.
The situation may have changed, which may have instituted a hiring freeze at various settings. That the majority of surgery has been rendered non-essential may have saved lives.
I have few unpleasant interactions, now.

"Beside the field she heard the great, sounding depth of the open well, of which the stone lip had sucked moisture from the air. The tower too would have filled with mist, and the intolerable pervasive smell of crushed nettles.
From the spine of the hill Theodora saw the tower. It was strong and solitary and white. But whether its thick walls enclosed, in addition to damp, the smell of nettles, and possibly a dead bird, some personal exhaltation or despair, was as obscure as the alleged moment in which Napoleon split the historical darkness of that part of the coast" (247-8).

I would not have guessed a year ago that shipping terms like C.O.D., which is cash on delivery, would be so relevant. This would be the case in a scenario like freight on board (FOB) destination, where the seller assumes liability for the freight until ownership changes hands with the buyer at the destination point, and then shipping costs are due.
