One of the stories I tell me boys is that I'm the reason we have green cars. (Not Green, emerald green.)
In early 1989, I was playing trivia with my group, and one of the members was a chemist in charge of developing new automotive paint colors and asked me what I'd like to see. "Oh, Emerald green, definitely! You never see green cars anymore."
...And that's why I was able to buy a 1993 emerald green Dodge Shadow. ; )
Budding mission control specialists! Did you guys watch the Mars landing the other day -- lots of excitement.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the link was to the Sandusky, Ohio center. I went to college up in that corner of Ohio (Oberlin) back in the dark ages.
We saw the Mars landing! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteOberlin's a good school. American Chemistry Society accredited too! : )
Better living through chemistry!
ReplyDeleteYes, the DuPont slogan.
