I once caught a tumbleweed... smile.gif

Driving cross-country from DC to Ft Huachuca AZ back in 1980. Tumbleweeds blowing across the hiway. Around El Paso TX one caught in the grill of my car and stayed there till I next stopped for gas in AZ after carrying it from TX, through NM. smile.gif

Meanwhile, guess CMC might be released for the Christmas season? Oh well...

That happens quite a bit.

They're fun to watch blowing across or down the highway out on the plains when it's windy. ...actually it's more fun to watch, from a safe distance, vehicles weave around and dodge them at 75-80 mph. :eek:

I'm a roaming cowboy riding all day long,

Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song.

Nights underneath the prairie moon,

I ride along and sing this tune.

See them tumbling down

Pledging their love to the ground

Lonely but free I'll be found

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

Cares of the past are behind

Nowhere to go but I'll find

Just where the trail will wind

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

I know when night has gone

That a new world's born at dawn.

I'll keep rolling along

Deep in my heart is a song

Here on the range I belong

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

I was once standing right by a highway when a tumbleweed rolled across into the path of an oncoming bus.

It was utterly obliterated - just snapped out of existence completely... quite chilling at the time.

War has been described as long periods of extreme boredom punctuated by moments of intense fury. (Paraphrasing - but does anyone know the origins of that quote?).

Now, avoiding seeing tubleweeds in my dreams, I am hard at work living my daily life, paying attention to the details: life, love, work, and pleasure, fulfilling my obligations... biding my time,

Because when CMC is released my entire Universe will only contain a bottle of Triconell, a cigar, and my computer...!
