When my father was in Germany during the Occupation, they drank V2 rocket fuel (Ethanol and Hydrogen Peroxide), mixed with Coca-Cola, and he said it bleached the cola clear! This may not have been actually rocket fuel:
The alcohol and liquid oxygen were pumped into the combustion chamber by means of two fuel pumps mounted on a common axis. These powerful pumps were driven by a steam turbine with a power of 675 H.P. At full power the pumps had an output of 5000 revolutions per minute. Only this way could the 8.75 tons of fuel be delivered in 6 to 7 minutes. The pumping unit weighed 450 kilogram. The steam for the turbine was produced in a generator. Hydro peroxide and calcium permanganate were mixed in the generator. The resulting chemical reaction generated overheated steam, which drove the turbines.http://pauleschoen.com/pix/PM08_P76_P54.png

It's not like no one else on here gets to eat or something.

Myself I am guilty of making sandwiches often, but I ain't gonna make anyone look at it..

Over the past week all kinds of things are popping up with the grass and weeds. These seemed interesting:
I think it might be lavender:

Or possibly bluebeard:

A closer look (but blurred because they were "blowin' in the wind")
