If you think tumbleweeds are mild-mannered critters with no agenda, you’ve got another think coming. You cannot begin to imagine the epic struggle it took to corral this one. (Word to the wise: never get between a lone tumbleweed and its herd.)
Of course, the difficult decision is now what to do with this one. The humane thing would be to put a shotgun to its head, but given the difficulty of locating said head and the problems of dealing with a wounded ‘weed have made it just about impossible to find anyone around here willing to volunteer for the task. Your ideas are welcomed.

Deborah, I do indeed recall that scene. I envision a variation wherein the cows shoot back. (Nice to hear from you again, btw!)
JP, the Sons of the Pioneers thank you for channeling their spirits. 😉
