      And DO NOT assume you can carefully touch them by just putting your fingers in between the big seemingly sparse spikes coming out of them. It turns out there are little tiny prickers all along the entire surface at high density. They will sink into your hand, are very painful, and very difficult to remove.

        when I was a kid I had to retrieve a ball that went into a brush of prickly pear. I didn’t see any spikes coming out of it so I thought it was fine.

        it hurt so much just to move my hand

      Is that a diagonal panel directly in front? (At the end of the wall on the right?) Did they have those?

        It could be. ID didn’t have diagonal walls until doom. But then the person drawing could have had an unsteady hand.

    I know some of you-all know about the “Tamales” lady…a staple of the Mexican community wherever there’s a Mexican community.

    But have you heard of the “nopales lady”? That’s right, nopales are not only delicious, they are also delicious 😋.

      You have to wait for a whole new cactus to grow per-frame.

      Still, faster than one of those $200 “Windows Laptops” with 4 gigs of RAM I see on Amazon and the like.
