He was about 2 inches across – that is, before I squished him.

Looks like a Hobo spider

Damn - I definitely think you nailed it with hobo spider. Thanks!

I don't normally worry much bout anything other than black widows, but this one just concerned me.

There seems to be quite a bit of debate about lethality, but it IS apparently venomous, and apparently it's a nasty bite.

Yup, one of the 3 in the US that will hurt ya. There are others that will leave a nasty mark as well but the Widow, Recluse, and Hobo will but some folks into the ER.

Hobo spider is a nasty SOB

I had a HOBO bite and it took months to heal.

Clearly a trans am spider.
