Another quiz

This one is an interesting little thing, and the results seem to fit fairly well.

You scored as Artillery/Armor. You are an artillery/armor soldier. Fighting really isn't your strongsuit, and instead you prefer to sit back and blow things up with your 80+ mile range or behind some rather thick armor. This isn't to say you don't have a strong sense of duty and honor. You just seem to be smarter about it. Artillery/Armor 88% Special Ops 81% Combat Infantry 69% Engineer 63% Officer 56% Support Gunner 56% Medic 50% Civilian 13% Which soldier type are you? created with QuizFarm.com

I found it after leapfrogging through six blogs (starting with Instapundit) at The Long Road, which is getting added to my bookmarks next time I update the sidebar. It's the LiveJournal of a marine who was seriously injured in Iraq. He was the only survivor of an IED attack and subsequent ambush. While he survived, he has suffered severe hearing loss, memory problems, and physical injuries both externally and internally.

O Tannenbaum

Last year, I posted a photo of my Christmas tree, hoping to get others to do the same. Only a handful followed suit. (Here is a roundup from Timothy Goddard.) I'll try again. This year, the tree is a little big for a small apartment, but I managed to shoehorn it into the dining area. Yes, that *is* the kitchen off to the right in the photo. Last year, it was in the bonus room upstairs, a room larger than my current living room. (click on photo to enlarge)
