Hello, and welcome to my Wikipedia Userpage. While I have been a registered Wikipedian for going on 7 years now, I've really only been actually participating since October 2007 with a break in 2010. I am a member of several Wikiprojects including WikiProject Human Spaceflight, WikiProject South Carolina, WikiProject Georgia and the WikiProject Utah. I jump around from one subject to another depending on my current interest, (which can change quickly) working what looks like it needs help. I generally stick with subjects that I love like Rocketry, Spaceflight, Electronics, Robotics, Geography and the states of Illinois, South Carolina, Utah and Georgia.

In the short time I've been here, I have found that Wikipedia is quite addicting, specially for an information junkie like myself. I can spend several hours a day here, either working on an article or just reading. So am I a Wikipediholic? According to the Wikipediholism test I am "really overdoing myself. I need to take a wikibreak for a few days." I scored a 3331 on the test. How about you, what is your score?

Almond

The almond (Prunus amygdalus) is a species of tree in the family Rosaceae, the family named after roses. It prospers in a moderate Mediterranean climate with cool winter weather, and is native to Iran and surrounding countries, although it is rarely now found wild in its original setting. The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed; botanically, it is not considered a true nut. It is used extensively as a culinary nut, however, and is cultivated worldwide. Around 80% of the world's almond supply is produced in the US state of California. This photograph shows an almond drupe in shell, shell cracked open, unshelled and blanched seed.
