That's hard to believe considering where you are.

@DeWayfarer yeah but I didn't live in NV until 2007

@caPnAhab They are a massive problem in remote areas of California.

Heck I even remember them in Anaheim growing up. Yet not to the extent they are in higher mountainous areas.

They can over flow fences with deep ditches in the Anza region.

@DeWayfarer Definitely, I've seen them piling as high as small houses.

Did you know tumbleweeds are an invasive species.

salsola tragus or Russian thistle

@MoveAlong I just learned something new. Now it's to remember that. That could be a problem.😅

@caPnAhab I always thought they were native to the Western US and Mexico. I just came across it a few years ago.

caPnAhab · 26-30, M

@MoveAlong I thought so too. I just now read that they can be found in every contiguous US state

But have you ever seen a living tumbleweed??

caPnAhab · 26-30, M

@greensnacks A living tumbleweed, you mean the nomadic ones that live off of gathering insects.

I thought they were a myth

@greensnacks 😂 I thought they were alive when they were moving. 😅

LOL Had a similar reaction seeing a Nun for the 1st time.
It's always a trip spotting elements of film genres beyond the movie screen.

😅There's about to be a showdown at the O.K. Corral!

I have one in my kitchen. I live near downtown Denver, near a major street, and I've thought about taking it to the street and leaving it there, like somehow it just blew there. But too many cameras in this bad neighborhood.

I keep forgetting they're real and not a prop that someone made up

caPnAhab · 26-30, M

@KiwiDan Imagine whenever you see one it's time to duck and cover so as not to get caught in the shoot out
