Watch Out For That...??

Today might well have been called Tumbleday instead of Thursday. Why? Because the wind was gusting up to 40 mph and blowing those mofos across the road the entire time I was taking Dad up to and back from Kearney this morning. Good God! Forget about watching for deer...which are a real hazard around here...watch out for big, rolling freaking tumbleweeds! One managed to escape the fence row and make a run for it across the interstate just as we were breaking the speed of sound on our way home and BAM we struck it with the right front of the bumper...or it struck us I should say. After that, Dad was pretty much on full orange alert. He and I were scanning for tumbleweeds in the ditches so much it looked like we were watching a table tennis game. I managed to avoid any more weed kills but man is my neck aching! Just for your info...Tumbleweeds are large Russian Thistle plants that roll like hell when they dry. Now, check this out...someone in Kansas...actually...SELLS...tumbleweeds. uhh huhhhh....like sells as in for money. Here is the price list in case you were thinking of, you know, ordering a few of those choice plants.

Jo Jo sells cow skulls...dead of course...and adds a touching melodramatic story about the poor bonehead like...Cow was struck down by lightning on a clear and cloudless sky, or...Cow threw herself in front of her baby calf saving it but charring her to a pile of ashes...all that was left...was this skull. You can't put a price on that! Powered by Castpost
