Something I saw for the first time in my life

[sternwake]

I've tons of black widows under the van. They've never come inside, to my knowledge. I used to go around with a fly swatter and a head lamp at night, and then sometimes ants would get inside.

I stopped killing the Black widows and no more ants. Not that many this year. They have unusual webs. irratic, always from van body to asphalt. I took one to Florida, but she did not survive the trip back as one spot in west Texas on the I-10 was down in the low teens when I woke up.

A year or two ago I was surfing during a Santa Ana event. hot dry desert winds heading out to sea. I saw this tumbleweed like object, the size of a racketball, roll on by, hydrophobic, bouncing and rolling atop the water's surface.
It made no sense, I closed and wiped my eyes and relocated it and watched it roll completely out of view.
I was high, but not hallucinating high. I asked a bunch of other surfers in the years since if they've ever seen anything like it. Nada.

In retrospect it looked almost like the diagrams of the coronavirus.

Ok, this is another weird coincidence....this thread about black widows...(or whatever!) and I walk outside tonight and I saw a good-sized tarantula about 3 feet from my porch, between two of these horizontal poles:

The first rule of I don’t like spider club is not to talk about spiders.

The left over alien observers can sense this talking thinking about them and....

I was bitten by a Bird Spider in Mozambique, not Australia thank god. Think bigger than your hand body and fangs close to an inch long. The Aussie variant is super poisonous.

Savaged by hundreds of red orb spiders in the Congo. Rotor wash from the chopper blew hundreds in the open gun door. I was sleeping. Think one inch body with red dot on body and red at each joint location on a shiny black metallic looking thing.
