Perhaps it is just your definition of weird that is skewed.

It's not the tumbleweeds' fault the houses were in the way. They weren't there before.

Global Weeding..

We're all going to die..


Ya'll should stop eating animal foods, and switch to healthy veggies..

Alternatively, I am researching whether one could EAT the tumbleweed..

I thought this was a TP4 post at first  ;D If more American's would switch to a vegan diet this would reduce the amount of methane in the atmosphere through the reduction of livestock. Once methane levels decrease we will eventually turn back the clock on global warming thus stemming this rampant tumbleweed attack.

Victorville and tumbleweeds? Someone is new to the area.
This happens about every ten years, you get extreme rain and then an influx of tumbleweeds. Anyone on the outer edges of town gets hit by them, and not just Victorville. That ten year cycle is also why So. Cal, has what appears on the surface to be an overbuilt drainage system, including the L.A. River, which actually becomes a raging river at those times.

You would have to pay me really well to live in Victorville.


Also, you don't have to go vegan to stop tumbleweeds, just get out of the desert.

Plant based nutrition is the best path towards youthful radiant skin.

You see.. People understand that Heart disease is caused by clogged arteries.

The heart has some of the largest pipes in the body.


Now, if Animal cholesterol can clog the BIG arteries and vessels.  they Also clog the SMALL arteries and vessels.


The skin is layered with these tiny capillaries which are damaged by an animal based diet.

This over the course of years lead to poor nutrient delivery to the skin, and failing skin health.

It's kinda unfair to involve Japan, they're basically from a whole different dimension! XD
