Re: Chartreuse and other color names

I once read about ... I believe it was the first auto accident fatality in Hawaii of the 21st century. The man who died was named Hye Ho Silva.
I suspect the name Silver for horses got to be especially popular due to the Lone Ranger's horse being named it.
A horse that likes to nibble at people does not make me feel warm and fuzzy toward horses. I like horses in theory but I have never really trusted anything that big and with such big teeth and which always seems to make "playful" nipping/nibbling motions in the general area of my jugular vein.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
