It was a big one, I could see it more than half a mile away. I became concerned as it slowly moved across the field toward the Interstate.
Quickly glancing to my left I could see that three had made it across all four lanes and were now resting next to a fence on the south side of the highway.
Another glance to the right and there were six or seven more moving across the field toward me.
Now, I was three hundred feet away and it was still moving closer to the edge of the Interstate. An eighteen wheeler started to pass on my left just as it began to cross just ahead of us. The wind from the big truck spun it around and it stayed in my lane.
No place to go . I hit it at sixty miles an hour.
A puff of dust and I felt the impact and crunch under my tires as I passed over it.
It's been a good year for Texas Tumbleweeds.
