I hope you all had a great Fourth of July.

Anyone go see a fireworks show? Mary Hudson, Laura, Anna and I saw a great show here in Asheville from the top of a tall mountain (hiking up a steep road with an infant is much more difficult than it sounds).

Anyway, as we watched the show, I thought about you all and wish we could have spent some time studying the chemistry behind firework colors, explosions, etc.

So, here’s the next best thing

Pure chemistry (and awesomeness)! It’s all about science (of course).
