If you have a leaf blower, can you send them to the neighbors?

Tumbleweeds are basically standard scene material in all Western movies.

The interesting thing is they were not native to the U.S. but were brought to America by Russian immigrants in the 1890s. They were accidentally mixed in with their wheat seeds.

Here in Ohio we have wind-driven snowballs. One ended up in my front yard.

I remember those days from my youth.

1956, McKormic School in Farmington NM. We kids made tumbleweed forts on the play ground. Had lots of fun in them till the weekend and the next Monday we found the custodian had burned them. And HE did not even have to pile them.

1961, Carlsbad NM. The radio (KAVE) issued warnings on what streets to avoid due to tumbleweeds blocking the roads.

1967 Walker AFB Roswell NM. The service building entrances were blocked so bad it took about an hour to clear a way in. If the Russians had launched and attack we would have been toast.

Which do I hate most? Tumbleweeds or goatheads (Sandburrs). I think it would be goatheads. No wonder the goat head is a sign of Satanists.
