@stormchasernick And the Dominator is being pulled by a herd of horses (also in helmets and jackets, for protection). 🤣

@magicalanime242 @TheCartoonBase Viv always had 5 seasons in mind. She's said it multiple times. I think it's the same for Helluva Boss.

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.

@Waiting4Weather @NWSChicago Intermittent: occurring at irregular intervals; not continuous or steady.

So it could rain every day, but not all day each day. It could be on and off throughout the day.
