Beware the Tumbling Tumbleweeds





Every autumn, tumbleweeds roll through the town of Cheyenne, Wyoming. But his November, they attacked. Residents woke to find their windows and doors barred by thousands of prickly dried weeds. It all seems a bit sinister, if you ask me. What were the weeds after? Why did they want to trap the people of Wyoming? What were they intending to do with them?

Anyone out there in Cheyenne who might provide an eyewitness account?

I wish we had tumbleweeds in Chicago.


They should have massive community-wide bonfires.

I think they should get a tumbleweed day, kind of like how some schools get snow days. I'm joking (or am I). Everytime I see a tumbleweed it's stuck in a fence, or on a cactus.

My latest kitten is named Tumbleweed, because he's round. He's not nearly as prickly as the real thing.

i dont live in cheyenne, but i live close to it. at my school, one day extra windy day (all days are windy here)there were so many tumbleweeds stacked up you couldnt see past the fence. my firend started to use one for fencing w/ my other friends, but she got in trouble. tumbleweeds are old news here. they're a part ofeveryday llife. although i think everyone in cheyenne sould've gotten a weed day. i bet that hurt trying to get out. ouch.
