Good afternoon Phoenix! Contrary to what Sterling told you, I am alive and well. I was just.... busy. *smirks*
On this date in 1826, former Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died.
1884 - the Statue of Liberty was presented to the US in Paris.
In honor of July 4th celebrations everywhere, I thought I would share some fireworks trivia.
The dazzling colors in fireworks depend on the mix of metals inside the fireworks.
Copper produces blue sparks;
A mix of strontium salts, lithium salts and other substances makes red;
Aluminum and titanium put the white stars in an aerial flag;
Barium makes green;
Calcium burns orange and sodium, yellow.
