Stuff from the Stan (pic heavy)

Well, as some of you may know, I'm a Combat Medic in the US Army. I recently got back from Afghanistan and did a lot of "f***ing with the wildlife" while there and felt like sharing some of what I found.

Mesobuthus eupeus. A moderately venomous (3/5) scorpion that is known to cause nearly 100 deaths per year in Afghanistan. It was found at about 8,000ft elevation.

A young camel spider.

A couple well camouflaged lizards.

This sweet tortoise! No idea what kind.

I even found some pea****s.

There are wild dogs all over the place. Some are cute, most are mangy.

This one was left wild, but followed us everywhere whenever we went to her village. She was awesome! And yes, it snows there... a lot.

It grows everywhere!

And I mean everywhere! That's a sidewalk in a bazaar...

It depends on what I'm doing. I was deployed with an infantry unit on the Pakistan border. It was rough. Now I'm back and working in the ER of a hospital. All depends on the job.

Now your name makes sense! Nice pictures. Especially the "puff puff"

Thanks, Kurt. The puff puff was everywhere and the Afghan Army guys would smoke it all the time. We definitely can't.

Sheesh... That second photo of the "puff puff", as you guys are calling it, is soo green and amazing!!! I would have definitely picked a couple of seeds and had me a nice couple of plants at home...

The uses for hemp is endless but unfortunately still illegal in South Africa. Hopefully our country will soon follow suit with countries like Uruguay and some states in America.
