I do not know what blue does. I do know what blue does not do. We have had our share of blue tarp decorative trends (Fran, 1996; tornado, 2011)

When exposed under a blue blue sky, it does not resist ultraviolet light. It absorbs it. Like crazy. Like Rudy says, whose email arrived while I was composing. 

Sooner than you think. Like before you can quit arguing with the insurance company about how much they are going to pay you to have the tarp removed and your roof put right.

Then it looks like the sails of a man-of-war in a Johnny Depp movie. 

Keep a close eye on your fading blue.

dan blue is the color you are when you are sad becker
