And also that I may like what I'm doing...
I had a dream last night that I was designing a Cadmium based reactor. Haha!! I chose cadmium because it was more plentiful than uranium. Now, I have no idea if that is even true. I actually don't even know anything about Cadmium. I'm pretty sure it's non-radioactive. It could be comparable to making an Aluminum based reactor. What a weird thought.
In that same dream, I was stressed out at one point because my carbonic acid concentration was too high. WTF? Questions for myself: Where was this carbonic acid (H2CO3)?
Why was there too much?
What was I going to do??
All I remember was that the carbonic acid was dissociating in water to produce hydronium ions. I didn't include the fact that carbonic acid is polyprotic. I realized that upon waking up. Hahaha...
If you have read this far without yelling "DORK," outloud, then I thank you. If only you could understand...
If I keep having dreams like this, I will either:
1. Go crazy
Or
2. Invent something really cool (like a magnesium based squirrel poo reactor that auto corrects for carbonic acid concentrations) in my sleep and then go crazy
Fair winds and following seas

Don't worry, you're a dork yet. I have dreamed of many goofy things over the years. I have dreams of geeky engineering things all the time. For instance (although it's been 12 years since I got out of the Navy), I dreamed recently about a session of drills. I woke my wife up by yelling, "Loss of vacuum in the port main condenser!" Funny story though. You were right in thinking that you could not fuel a reactor with Cadmium. It is not fissile, although there are naturally occurring isotopes that are radioactive. Thanks for a couple of Power School stories to remind me of the old days! Keep up the good work and try not to go too crazy the rest of the way. Can I recommend up-state New York for prototype?
