This seems like a bad idea to have two cones so close together. But it turns out that the closeness of the M and L cone sensitivities allows for an additional dimension of sensitivity to spectral modulation. Also, their spacing maximizes sensitivity for discriminating variations in blood oxygen saturation.

Also, ecologically, when you're more oxygenated, you're in better shape.

You got real close to those guys. It seems like it was yesterday. Alex and I had been playing together since fifth grade.

I've known him for years, ... We hunt together. He's become a very close personal friend.

The cones look good. Can we get some desert up here?

they do not kiss
but they both want to
instead their feet touch and so do their arms
it is electric magic
their tiny arm hairs tingling
happily lying together
the sun warming them
watching sky through green-leafed gum branch
close enough to hear each other breathe
sweet togetherness
this lazy lying down dance of love
