rubyw would love to help, but doesn't have a lot of motivation herself today.... she has just been watching videos of tumbleweeds on YouTube (the best one was set to the theme tune of Rawhide).

olivia is listening to guitar solos by slash on youtube and looking for any election news she can find.

Tumbleweeds, Ruby? That has cracked me up!

R

I was quite impressed that so many people have actually filmed them ! A big one looked like an alien blob from a '50s B movie, mowing down young people in its trail!! :-) The wonders of nature, eh!

R

rubyw has just noticed she's got 3 stars!!! Thanks Lara, you must have tipped me over the threshold, so to speak! And any other nice person who's helped too (up) :-)

Tumbleweeds can be a road hazard in the western US--they can blow and pile up so high that the major highways have to be closed.

Interesting! I wonder how they came to be used as a symbolic response in the deadly silence following a really bad joke where no one laughs?
