Tumbleweave sighted: Baltimore

Here we see a specimen of what, in Baltimore, is colloquially known as a ‘tumbleweave’: an artificial hair extension which has, through some happenstance or another, elected to make it’s own way, free of it’s host. This one, possibly originating continents away in a proto-religious Eurasian hairletting ritual, found itself hopelessly and aimlessly clinging to a patch of concrete in downtown Bowtimo. Possibly looking for a cameo on The Wire.
While undocumented before the 1980′s, sightings of wild tumbleweaves has grown rapidly in recent years; matching, perhaps coincidentally, a decrease in Bigfoot sightings over the same time period. Is there a indeed a connection? Sooner or later, science will surely have an explanation.

Holy crap. I can’t believe you misapostrophied “its”–twice! “… through some happenstance or another, elected to make it’s own way, free of it’s host.” For shame!

Oh but anyway, that’s an awesomely disturbing picture.
