Scooter Tank!
A military Vespa, the AMCA Troupes Aeról Portées Mle. 56 was used by the French Airborne Forces in Algeria and Indochina. With an M20 75mm recoiless rifle, it was airdropped as a two man, two scooter team. One carrying the rifle, the other ammunition. Hilariously, the gun could even be fired on the move, and it was designed as an anti-tank weapon. Can you imagine being the tank crew that were defeated by a scooter?

Humulus lupulus
This is a hop plant. It is used as flavoring and natural preservative for brewing beer.
This one has been growing in my backyard cince I was a kid. It is about 25 years old. This thingy is absolutely amazing. When it breaks into bloom and heated by the sun it’s cones has a tantalazing beer aroma. Every year it is trying to seize more and more area of our yard, it climbs on it’s own dried branches that has left since last year. It also makes a good cover from summer heat for my cat :3

Meremac Springs – Columbia MO
Took a lot of realy neat pictures there. Was having fun with some of the different macros on my camera. These are from a while back, but I just recently found them (along with the PC they were on.)

Election Map 2008
It’s more interesting when compared next to the “predictions map”. My mom lives in San Antonio, Texas and made sure to call me with the news that all the big cities in Texas (even the previously Republican cities) had all voted for Obama.
