Messing around with chemistry was de Rigeur when I was a kid (I shudder at the uses to which we put Mercury). Rocket fuel was of course one of the targets, my father used to make it in the kitchen. Really souped up the Victoria day firecrackers (my contribution, that was).

I have none of that stuff now, but I do have the formula for at least two different types of rocket fuel *in my head*. Oh No! Perhaps my sentence could involve enough heavy drinking to forget them? Funny how that idea doesn't seem as appealing as it once did.
