Backyard Black Widow
I have said before that the desert bites back. Meg, Sofia and I were in the backyard early yesterday evening and Meg spotted a Black Widow hanging off the side of my wooden sculpture of a "Pair of Shorts." First I got the camera, then I got the Raid. Interestingly, I had been picking up "Shorts" and moving them around. Who knew that the crack was occupied.
So the Raid worked great and there was one dead bug. Now I am used to the normal crew of desert bugs, beetles, cockroaches, and stuff I can't name cleaning up the critters that drop dead in the backyard. Guess what? Next day there is still one dead spider on the concrete.

I guess nothing messes around with a Black Widow!

You guys moved to a whole new world of creepy crawlies. You survived this one, but do you think you'd have a chance against Sonya, "The Black Widow" of competitive eating?
She set two world records in Buffalo: 134 buffalo wings in 12 minutes & 4lbs, 14.24 Ounces of fruitcake in 10 minutes.

Last January in Vegas, she consumed a 9 pound "Big Daddy" Barrick Burger w/ Cheese in 27 minutes! That's like 1/10 of her own body weight.
Whoa!!! Keep your eyes open at all times.
This certainly wouldn't happen in Buffalo.
