Headline

Just for Joe:

A new baby spider encroached on the second bedroom window. I turned to chemical warfare this time which was unsuccessful. Well, I can't tell. It is gone but they are probably turning to crafty tricks. Mary suggested I do a daily headline of the spider newsletter with a takeoff from the NY Times. I thought I could do a spot on the side of the blog, an actual post so it would come via RSS, or would that be disrespectful to our troops in Iraq? You decide.

For today:
"President Head W. Spider to declare gains in #314 on some fronts"

314=apartment

Important Update!!
There was an encroachment. As I was getting my shoes out of the closet, I saw something large move rather fast. I turned on the light, put my shoes on and moved some stuff around. Yes, an invader from another state. How do I know this? After it was dead, I looked at the markings to make sure it wasn't the same kind from the window. Nope.

Unfortunately, this leads to two issues. There was a breach into the apartment. Most importantly, what happened to my sentry? On our walk, I had to demote Sgt. Elston to Private Elston. Not only does she not earn her keep but she is slacking on her guard duties. This can't be tolerated.
