It's scalping season here in beautiful Palm Springs. See the tractor in the picture? It's why the grass is gone and the land is brown. It had just stopped, and before it did, it was spewing a giant ball of smoke. Ah Choo!
It's been a concern of environmentalists, that scalping contributes heavily to fouling the air. They have a new way to do it that's less offensive than the way this tractor does--digging deep in the ground, pulling the old grass up and out.
Most all of the public grass areas in Palm Springs are scalped, so that the gardeners can plant rye seeds, which grow into grass. Rye (yeah, the kind that's in rye bread) can take the colder temperatures that come at night here during the winter.
