I recall the first time I took a formal chemistry class. One of the
first exercises was simply a candle observation exercise. Not that I
was ever specifically interested in candles. One person wrote more than
I did. That chem teacher was a good friend. I taught him astronomy
before I graduated, he gave me a long sail plane ride at El Mirage North
of Baden-Powell. Until I puked. Had to clean my ****tion of the cockpit
obviously. Great trip.
An amusing grin comes to mind after seeing the film Fight Club with Brad
Pitt and Edward Norton. (Soap)
Most recently on a B-day, friends purchased for me candles at the
Exploratorium which have the interesting non-yellow salts for red,
orange, and green flames. Not bad. The small versions impressed one
set of friends when ignited. I got some larger ones.
Build a fire with that. In the winter.
