He's back...

Well, all you arachnid lovers will be happy.

Apparently a high powered hose is not enough to defeat my front door spider.

Unlike on previous weekend nights, when coming home late at night after a few glasses of wine, I deliberately avoided looking to my right when opening the door, I took a really good look into his little cranny, to double check that he was still gone.

He wasn't.

And now I am ever more convinced of his super-spider powers.

(Even worse is the fact that I am still morally bound by my non-killing vow. I wish I was a less ethical person... then I would have snuck out there with the Raid, and kept tonight's happenings to myself).

Even if you had, I suspect this one has evolved powers that make it immune to Raid.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Ha! I tried to warn you, a hose is no match for a super powered spider!

Punch it in the face and give it black eyes.

The Duke said...

Yes!

You should give the spider a name. How about Peter?

He seems to like you.

That's probably what you were afraid of, though.

Ant- Believe me, I am.

Smartbuddy- I think you were right about him getting stronger- his web is definitely bigger. He has the intentions of catching some serious prey.

Airam- I wish :(. He's the one I made the non-killing pact with- he loves that spider!

Ultra- Unfortunately, that would mean touching him.

Duke- I had a feeling you would be pleased.

Dorky Dad- A name may be a good idea-- but Peter doesn't work, considering it is the name of someone I know, and thus seems inappropriate. Something much more evil is needed.

Eric- I'm not sure which is worse- him liking me or hating me. I would prefer fear.

You can try this, if you're serious about not killing the wee thing...
