HOT KARLS BIG JELLY SANDWICH

From the tongues of the Indian plantation workers,  Kali , the feminine synonymous to strength and potency in  Hindu mythology  has, over the course of time, evolved to become Collie, the slang for  Cannabis . Taxonomically, though, the tumbleweed is a difficult thing to get a grip on. The term is casually applied to half a dozen different plants that all have the facility of dispersing their seeds as they are blown about by the wind. Only one of these,  Amaranthus albus,  or   tumbling pigweed , is indigenous to Texas. But  Amaranthus  is rare and probably not the plant that the Sons of the Pioneers mean. The archetypal tumbleweed is more likely Russian thistle, or  Salsola kali,   which did not appear in the United States until the 1870’s, when its seeds were inadvertently carried over along with the flax seeds of some Russian immigrants. https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-culture/texas-primer-the-tumbleweed-2/ BAR OR BARGELD IS GE...
