I would like to reassure everyone that, while spiders do lay eggs in bananas, there is absolutely no chance that a Sri Lankan spider has laid eggs in your bananas and that they will hatch out in your stomach. Well, almost no chance. Probably no need to worry at all. Virtually nil. I’m glad that we can put that behind us. Probably. ---

The wife makes a pretty good banana dessert. The crust is made of crushed pecans, flour and butter that you bake in a Pyrex dish. Then you put this Dream Whip like stuff in the middle, lay banana slices on top of that and then cover with blueberry pie filling. Chill that in the fridge until you’re ready to serve, then slice it up and sprinkle spider eggs on top… delish! ---

Done my morning shift. Got the truck done. I like _Jiffy Lube_ better than the dealer, they’re faster and vacuum up the dead leaves. Between yesterday and today I think I’m managed to piss off everybody around me. Even the Sah-kid told me to go to my room. My work is done. ---
