If you try something new, really try to get into it. But also let it go if you have to let it go. Eventually you'll find something that won't let you go. ;-)

    One thing I was taught when studying agriculture is that "weed" is a sort of general term for unwanted plants, specifically unwanted at certain locations. This means that a rose bush, normally not considered a weed, would be considered one in a field of wheat. I found that rather interesting that what's considered a weed can be so different depending on the situation.

    Not what I thought from the title, but also much more interesting, given the earlier video on Tumbleweeds, which I went and re-watched after watching this one.
