(Why do I LOOK?!!) Oh. It’s a halloween decoration. That’s okay. (Actually I can deal with tarantula’s, as long as I don’t have to touch them. Or they don’t get too near to me. I think. It’s been many years.) ---

Yeah, my wife thought about threatening me with spiders. But she’s more afraid of roaches than I am of spiders, so I told her if she ever chased me or threatened me with a spider, it would be all too easy to get her back. ---

Oh dear god. That thing’s enormous ( **Baggins** ’ spider, not the Halloween one in the tree. Although I want to steal that for Halloween next year.) Nuke it from orbit; it’s the only way to be sure. Although I care for winter less and less, I’m in a dilemma - as the weather gets more and more decent, the spiders get bigger and bigger. Imma stayin’ in Minnesota for a while, I think.
