Clearly I am Not Over the Spiders Yet

For the past few weeks, one of the gigantic spiders was sitting on my neighbor's window. This window happens to be directly across from my parking space. So every day I got a nice view of him. And every day I congratulated myself on the fact that the spider was not sitting on MY window.

Then he disappeared.

I noticed his absence and double checked my car. Giant spiders on my neighbor's windows are cool, but giant spiders in my car are not okay. But there were no spiders and I went on my way.

Guess where the spider was?

On my front door!! Three flights of stairs are quite a hike for a spider! (Or for a human with grocery bags). I was impressed by his dedication. But the dedicated spider is no more. I refused to enter the house until Peter disposed of it.

I also refuse to speculate on what will become of me when I find giant spiders while Peter is deployed.

There will be more Kyoto photos when I have some time to get more scanned in. Here is an Okinswa sunset photo to tide you over in the meantime:

Spiders are cool, don't worry about them, as long as you don't bother them, they won't bother you.

In my family - it's just the opposite.

I have to get rid of the nasty spiders for my husband.

Ick! I feel for you. You need to train your kitty to be spider hunter. ;)

Borrego - Nice to see you, and yes, spiders can be cool, but not when they are the size of dinner plates.

Ladybronco - I had to be the spider-killer all the way through college. I'm on break now!

Anissa - My cat is a good spider and roach hunter, but I'm not sure what she would do with a spider that size. She seemed a little perplexed by the mutant roaches.
