[NewCandle] Invasion of the Nanosquiddies

[Nick Reiter]

Good morning Horace and all,

Fancy you should bring that up!

My youngest son is on a road tour with his band, and they have been heading across the Gulf Coast to Florida.  The other day, before I saw the squid, I had the notion that sea water might be a good obvious "natural recipe" salt brine to use for a hydrolysis rate data point, so I called him and asked him to take a clean gallon jug and get me some sea water, which he did.

WHo knows what might turn up!
