Tumbleweed

As an east coaster I've never really seen tumbleweed except in the movies. When we came to Boise to interview I saw it for the first time. We were sitting in a Tully's having coffee and there was a tumbleweed rolling across the parking lot. I ran to the car and pulled out the camera and by the time I turned around it was gone. Vanished. There was no sign of it anywhere in the parking lot.

Yesterday while driving on the highway that goes from downtown to the interstate, I crushed a large piece of tumbleweed as it blew across the highway. Maybe that's what happened to other one.

I saw my first tumbleweed in Albuquerque - it was surreal. I kept expecting John Wayne to step out of the bushes and say 'Howdy'
