LAST OF THE SPIDER

Yes, the spider is gone.

The guy who lives with me was trotting up the stairs when an empty web stopped him cold. Thought for a moment he'd cry. "Something got it," he mumbled. "A lizard."

"How? It stayed in the middle of the web. If a lizard jumped that far, he'd break the web and the web's still there."

"A bird, then. Lizard, bird, something. My spider's gone."

And that was all that mattered, poor baby.

Hee hee hee!

SPIDER

Okay, the spider beneath my bedroom window has moved. I had high hopes that the rain drove him away or the lizard ate him. Alas, no such luck.

Now he has a magnificent new structure spanning from the building corner to a tree, over four feet in length and maybe just as wide.

And there he sits in the middle, waiting to be fed, giving me the evil eye whenever I go down the stairs.

Where are those pesky squirrels when you need them?
