Too bad you can’t smoke it…or CAN you?
This is what happens when Capitalist Pig-Dogs build their homes in the natural path for the local flora.
Poor Tumbleweeds, just wanna tumble, but Nature’s Nemesis: Man is again in the way.
Easy-peasy. They burn.
Kind of looks like “The Trouble With Tribbles.”
Damn Russian invaders.
Are those tumbleweeds undocumented?
Used to get these in our ranch barbed wire fence lines.
Light ‘um one fire, they burn real nice.
“Are those tumbleweeds undocumented?”
Local news is reporting the immigrant caravans have reached the California border.
“Residents of Victorville, which is northeast of Los Angeles were shocked when hundreds of tumbleweeds blew into their town, burying everything in their wake, including 150 homes”
Only flat-landers from down below would be shocked, sheltered pussies that they are.
Box ’em up and put ’em on Amazon. Easterners will but them.
Oh they burn, they are super-dry. As is everything around them. Don’t want to risk that.
I think the news is reporting that people are shocked because it sounds more newsy. They like to do that.
Things are so bad in liberally controlled California that even the tumbleweeds are trying to leave.
See them tumbling down…

They burn, yup, that’s what they need alright, a bunch of flaming tumbleweeds rolling through town.
Goddamn Russians!@!

“The trouble with Tribbles on steroids.”
We used to stack 3 on top of each other, paint them white and have “snowmen for Christmas.
When tumbleweeds break loose from their roots and start tumbling they are already dry and highly flammable. They burn hot and fast so they are a real fire danger.
Home of the former George AFB…Quite a History of USAF and the
lesser branches made their way through there…Not a lot of
fun for E-2’s….3’s….4’s.
Claudia –
I didn’t know Festus could sing.
Thx!
I’d much prefer a yardfull of tumbleweed to a yardfull of dreamers™ defecating everywhere.

Check out the John Ford film Rio Grande. Festus was with the SOTP at the time and their performances in it will jerk a tear if there is even a tiny bit o the Irish in ya.
loved Ken Curtis in another John Wayne movie … ‘The Searchers’
“I’ll thank you to unhand my fi-an-cy.”
Festus was the Bestest
“Why you old Scutter, I feel better than a barn rooster on a prime hoot.”
They’re painful. Had one brush by my leg at a high rate of speed once. ONCE.
When they tumble across the interstate and you hit them at 80mph, they shatter like porcelain. Kinda fun. Never hurt the truck either.
Classic IOTW at it’s best.
That video on a Loop is solid Gold.
Didn’t even realize it was looping for 3 cycles.
You can fire a lot of tortilla ovens with that truck haul. There’s gold in them there Weeds. At least $2 million worth according to Laura.
Come on baby light my fire…..oh yeah.
Victorville is a pit stop and an eyesore on the way to Vegas. The town should rejoice it’s not getting invaded by Godzilla. It’s a laughingly perfect setting for a 1950’s style Sci-Fi movie.

In ’52 my family spent our vacation in the West to visit my parents’s parents (Dad SoCal, Mom NoCal) Dad’s Dad took us to Knotts . That night in their little (and I mean small0 amphitheater they had Roy Rodgers and — (Hint one of them wrote Ghost Riders in the Sky 7 years before.). If I live to be 125 I will not forget that trip!
