Lots to blog about but I don't want to forget this one on the heels of my last post.
1. My nephew, Simon. I was talking to my sister last week and she told me that Simon had a spider incident. They were at an outdoors play that took place at an arboretum. During one of the scenes, a spider crawled on Simon. He let out many loud screams. I would have done the same thing except I probably wouldn't have been excused since I am not 4 years old.
2. Last week at a local park, a little girl was riding her bike on the path. Next thing I know, she jumps off her bike, throws it to the ground and starts screaming. Mother tries to reassure her as she is looking over the bike. She tells the girl that there is no web or spider on the bike. The little girl screams, "there are still webs on the bike and the spider is there." The mother continues to examine the bike as the girl has a meltdown and refuses to get back on the bike. Apparently, she rode through a web. I completely sympathized with the little girl and wanted to tell her never to let her guard down. I didn't think the mother would appreciate my advice so I kept my mouth shut.
Apparently, I am not the only target or the only person uncomfortable with the spider situation.

Not spiders but falling bikes and stories. In the new "[2]" magazine, the fantasy to get the other guy is to fall off your bike and say "f***." It's ok, you don't have to approve this comment but your entries often leave me segueing off on some tangent.
Not about spiders but bikes and stories. The fantasy in the new "[2]" magazine to get the guy is to cruise by, round the corner, fall off your bike, say "f***", wait for him to come rescue you and ... well. Gotta get a bike. You don't have to post this but your blog entries so often lead me to segueing off on some tangent (and usually falling off my proverbial bike).

Sorry about that double posting. It appeared not to be taking, I rewrote it and voila. Perhaps it's Rashomon. And now I do have a spider story. Did you see the article about the spider web in East Texas that is taking over a state park and stinks because of all the dead stuff in the web? I'm exaggerating a bit and shouldn't. It was even grossing me out and I'm not usually undone by spiders.
No worries. I accidentally published the first before I read the second one.
I did see the Texas web story. Spooky. The stench part also grossed me out.
