It seems like nearly every time a town in this part of Texas gets national media recognition, there will be a mention of tumbleweeds rolling down the streets at mid-day. (I presume a style manual somewhere mandates this tired reference.)

But, maybe it’s true? This tumbleweed was clearly in town when it got itself wedged between a fence and a utility pole.
