borders based on watersheds (borders on divides, or geographical high points) are extremely logical!!

South texas isn't a desert in the wile e coyote sense, its actually quite verdant once you get enough water pumped (and while significant, its nowhere near, say, california almond farms.). Lack of winter means multiple crops and plantings a year (2-4, depending on variant) Its just, you know, horrifically hot and humid down here in satan's rear end in a top hat. Yeah I got no idea why we're lumped in with death valley there.

It is, but we're a bit south of it. The botanical term for the biome is "mesquite savannah".

the tamaulipan mezquital is supremely boring to drive through but if you explore there are lots of neat bird, lizard and cacti species everywhere. it's not nearly as exciting as the mountains to the south, but at least oranges are cheap edit how the gently caress was i beaten to this lol

Yeah, despite the heat I consider myself very lucky to have grown up here, it basically was a calvin and hobbes forest but uh, spiny. Sadly the horny toads got eaten by the fireants, but lots of new critters coming in now that climate change has messed with biomes everywhere, so that's nice

Ain't even the first time the place has seen biome collapse. Feral hogs and the vegetation from farther south the spanish brought north with them essentially terraformed the place.

I know, unfortunately feral hogs exist juuuuust under the 'megafauna' classification and i'm not sure the societal response to stop them is possible (In 1722 or 2022).

One theory is that a warming climate disrupted these early people's usual food sources, so they learned to hunt larger animals.

Honestly really love the "what is and what isn't midwestern" conversation because it's similar to people talking about music genres for groups that are really border line. Although the conversation always seems kind of broad. Like, What does it mean to be Midwestern? What do you do? (Note, from Los Angeles. And read this conversation a lot with midwest emo, math rock, Minor Threat emo, vs Rites of Spring Emo stuff. ) mazzi Chart Czar has issued a correction as of 00:20 on Jun 23, 2022 |
