Magnesium

Is it too early to reflect on my blogging experience with only 12 posts? I have learned MORE than I expected about chemistry finding the daily fun fact and I hope you've enjoyed them as much as I have. I have also come across some really cool websites and videos that I will continue to share with you in the coming posts. I have greater respect for YouTube and Google after less than two weeks of posting.

The big move is now less than two days away (Saturday!). We are stopping in Erie, PA to split up the 12 hour drive (the Great Lakes are probably the biggest imposition I have ever run into). I am almost all packed - no more clothes in my dresser, everything in suitcases in my bedroom, and boxes leading down the hallway from my bedroom. Eek!

Woo hoo!! This post completes a periodic table clock (yes, I am a geek). Now you can tell a friend you'll meet them at half past fluorine...I'm sure they will really think that you are a winner.


Fun Fact: Magnesium is extremely flammable; so flammable that early photograph flashes were nothing more than a rubber bulb that blew magnesium powder into a candle flame.
