Speaking of spiders
On Friday I spotted this hideous spider with hundreds of babies on board at the track.
It's about as big around as a half dollar. What is it?!?  I was strapping the rear wheels before going home. It was just inches from me!  KT

looks like the infamous baby-on-board trackus spiderus
notorious for surviving on race rubber worms discarded by r spec tires best lightly sauteed in a mild garlic sauce with leeks and habanero compote

That my friend is a Wolf Spider. We have loads of them around these parts. In fact, that is the very kind my wife squished with a bear foot and picked it up and put it down the sink!
They are harmless but they do deliver a heck of a bite.

Bear foot or Bear Claw?  I wouldn't waste a perfectly good bear claw to smash a spider... |

We have a bunch of comics in here... Personally, I think spiders are pretty interesting creatures...I just don't want to touch one. I'll look at them closeup all day long though. |

I know it rains a bit too much where I live, but every time I see one of these post about spiders or snakes or snakes that swim in the lake, I realize I live in the best place in the world.....
You have to go looking for wildlife trouble up here. I have come across the odd black bear while hiking or playing golf, but as long as I never end up face to face with a cougar..... I just don't like little things that can bite or kill you. ( I lived in Africa and that was enough for me) Cheers
