☞ FunFacts: Beavers eat the bark and spit the chips. –•– "They are the largest rodents (gnawing animals) in the world except for the capybara of South America. Unlike most other kinds of mammals, beavers keep growing throughout their lives. Most beavers look larger than they really are because of their humped backs and thick fur. Thousands of years ago, some beavers of North America were about 7 1/2 feet (2.3 meters) long, including the tail--almost as long as the grizzly bears. No one knows why these huge beavers disappeared." – from WorldBook's excellent summary.

I saw a sticker on someone's car with the Obama Hope Logo and a caption saying, "So Far...He Sucks"
Well please forgive the man for not cleaning the heaping pile of shit left behind for him fast enough. For you idiots who don't have your facts straight let me fill you in on a couple of things....
It appears that Obama is staying true to his promise to give universal health care to Americans. That bill is well on its way to being passed!
The Gay community has made several advances (and recessions) since Obama has taken office, however you are now able to marry in our nations capital which is a momentus step for gays in America.
Finally, most economists are telling us that the economy is on the rise NOT DECLINING. Job hiring is up and retail spending is higher than expected.
Do I think that Obama is perfect? No. There are things I think he could do better and want him to do faster. But I think that he is doing a Damn good Job.
Plus his wife is FAB U Lous!

"Comfortable urban setting," I sighed approvingly as I took pictures. "Ugh but the speed limit is too high," I muttered.
Funfact: The street at the left is the boundary between the Town of West Seneca (right) and the Town of Cheektowaga (left).
Funfact: According to Google Streetview, the "Star Express" sign was installed sometime between September 2014 and September 2017, replacing a "Stop & Gas" sign. You thought it was older didn't ya!

I was snapping pictures of these guys in the Daida National Park, north of Greece. Circling above me, one of them finally decided to pass the moon for me. A wonderful moment. Heavily cropped due to the lack of the right lens.
Quote from Garrett's instagram: It’s #MHMonday!!! Here is #LunaMothews who made her debut in #BooYorkBooYork! It was really fun getting to work on all 3 new characters (well 4 with Seth) and getting to design both their day looks and their gala looks! I was so happy we were able to do Luna’s wing print train and that when next to one another make a skull! The prototype used for the sales photos doesn’t look as nice as what we got in production. The production version has a great sheen to it so it almost sparkles! But you can’t always get the exact fabric/printing for the prototypes. But always nice when it comes out better than expected! #FunFact: her tiara is inspired by #psylocke from #xmens #butterflyeffect when she uses her telepathic powers. And I love that it looks like it sits so naturally and stays in place pretty well since we used the earring holes as the leg-in to hold the tiara on her head! All of her sculpted detail on her body turned out so cool as well thanks to our talented sculptor Adam!

Personal funfact: Years ago, for about six months when I was nine-ten years old, the second window from the left was my "bedroom" window. It was also the living room window but that's where I slept. The day spa and piercing studio and education center weren't there yet.
What a modest building!
But this is Canada so why is it spelled "center."

So nach drei langen Wochen bin ich mit diesem Projekt endlich fertig. Das Flugzeug ist ein Bausatz von Revell, die Figuren sind von Warlord Gaming und die Waffen sowie Base von Games Workshop. Auf die Idee gekommen bin ich, als ich ein uraltes Modell, welches ich vor etwa 15 Jahren machte, ziemlich verstaubt auf nem Kasten gefunden habe und mir wieder einfiel das ich irgendwo den selben Bausatz noch einmal hatte. Dieses Modell lag seit etwa 10-15 Jahren bei mir rum und wartete darauf das meine Leidenaschaft für den Modellbau wieder erwachen würde xD
Ich habe es in den Farben meiner Steellegion angemalt, auch mit dem Ziel es in irgendeiner Form mal auf dem Schlachtfeld zu sehen. Das ist einer der Gründe weswegen ich die Figuren reingepfuscht habe. Der Massstab stimmt zwar hinten und vorne nicht, aber bei der grösse des Modells fällt dies zum Glück eher weniger auf.
Die Geschichte hinter diesem Flugzeug fängt vor einigen tausend Jahren an, als irgendwo an der russischen Front Luftunterstützung angefordert wurde, die nie ankam. Statdessen wurde die Anfrage auf einen hohen Stapel mit anderen Anfragen gelegt, schliesslich Archiviert, verschüttet und vergessen. Irgendwann etwa 38000 Jahre später fand irgendein unbedeutender Administratum Mitarbeiter einen alten, verstaubten Zettel mit einer Luftunterstützungs Anfrage und einer Angehefteten Lagernummer. Nur wenige hundett Jahre später stand eine Niegel Nagel neue Junkers Ju-52 im Hauptlager eines Armageddon Steellegion Regiments und niemand wusste so richtig was damit anzustellen sei. Auf das Risiko hin Tech-Heresy zu begehen wurde der Vogel etwas aufgerüstet um nun als Gunship das Regiment zu unterstützen.
Funfact: Der Panzerturm den ich in die Base eingearbeitet habe stammt von einem Revell Panzer und war das letzte Modell welches ich in meiner Jugend zusammen gebaut und angemalt hatte. Ich gab damals nicht den kleinsten fick beim anmalen, weswegen sich mein schlechtes Gewissen in Grenzen hällt xD
