Texas actually did something like this, but better. Starting in the 1960s, thanks to Lady Bird Johnson and the Highway Beautification Act, Texas began planting native wildflowers along highways.
Today, TxDOT manages about 800,000 acres of roadside and intentionally delays mowing until early summer after wildflowers have bloomed and dropped seed.
Mowing late in the season allows the wildflowers to stay vigorous and not get crowded out by taller grasses or trees and shrubs.
Take a drive along Texas highways in the Spring and you will enjoy a beautiful display of Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush, Coreopsis, Winecup, Mexican Hat, Indian Blanket, and more!
Then thank Ladybird Johnson and TxDOT’s commitment to keeping Texas Highways beautiful.

Absolutamente colosal Tadej Pogacar.
Por dónde ha ganado, por lo que significaba para él y por el cómo lo ha conseguido en esta edición.
Sencillamente histórico. Trasciende al ciclismo. De los deportistas más imperiales de la historia.
Gracias por tanto.
Las ventas de discos de vinilo en EE.UU. superaron los US$ 1.000 millones en 2025 por primera vez desde 1983. Marca no sólo un retorno al vinilo sino también a ser "dueño" de la música comprada. Todo vuelve.

I wholeheartedly believe skiing could change a persons life for the better. Just enough times until you can run greens and blues proficiently is all you really need. Your life will 100% improve. Similar to surfing (the few times Ive surfed a board felt exhilarating but it's much harder to learn).
Take yourself to beautiful mountains in different parts of the world. Great exercise. Great for couples, friends, and family. If you havent committed to learning, you really should. Probably my favorite pastime I've ever had, and I've had tons.
"When our genes were unable to store all the information necessary for our survival, we slowly invented the needed genes.
But then there came a time, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when there arose a need to know more than it was convenient for our brains to hold. And so we learned to store vast quantities of information outside our bodies.
We are the only species on the planet, at least as far as we know, that has invented a communal memory that is stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The place where this memory is kept is called a library.
A book is made from a tree. You give it a single glance, and you hear the voice of a person who may have been dead for a thousand years. Across millennia, the author speaks, quietly and clearly, directly into your head, personally to you.
Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, for it binds together people who are citizens of different epochs and who have never known one another.
Books break the shackles of time; they are proof that humanity is capable of magic."
