Alchemy


Alchemy (noun): a medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy aiming to achieve the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for disease, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life.

Ancient alchemists used chemicals and science, originally in an attempt to turn lead into gold. In a similar vein, I'm using chemicals and science, hoping to turn my green-black pool into blue. It's Memorial Day, which means time for the pool cover to come off. I've poured $300 worth of chemicals into the pool, and now it's a waiting game ...

I hope I do better than last year. Posted by Picasa
