Not gonna click a link that says "infinite spider." Nope. I wouldn't kill a spider but it's too early. Too. Early.

On the bus, happy hump day. I'm planning a trip to the zoo if the smoke is lower today. (Wildfires, Washington)

I only squish redbacks and black spiders...inside my home,
..

Got bit by one years ago...every now and then the fang bite marks reappear... rarely lethal for adults...very nasty for kids...

I can't imagine living around poisonous spiders daily. I don't think that I could ever sleep!

On the bus, coffee in hand.

Happy riding all!

It isn't like that star; there are not many poisonous spiders that hang around. I have only seen a redback once in my life, and I am a country and city girl.

Purps is safe at her dad's, but I don't think she can get online right now.

And ON ❤️

Excellent CK!

I clicked it bim - it's quite safe.

My uncle lives in Cooktown in Queensland, he has a couple of big hairy - but non-dangerous spiders to keep the funnel-webs (or something like that) spiders away. Rather him than me.

On the soberbus.

Nice one and I like the ‘koala vibes’! All the best Purps! I hope that wherever you are it will not get any worse than this.

I hope it doesn’t come across the wong way, but the hurricane situation reminded me of the following scene from (I think) Tintin and the Shooting Star.

In hindsight, although it was well meant and not intended to make fun of a situation that has many people concerned for their own safety and that of their loved ones in addition to damage to property, my post above could seem insensitive and I should not have made it. It was too late to edit and I apologise if I offended anyone.

s We have to cope with stuff. And we need to laugh even when things are tragic.

Well, if you know what I mean. xx

It wasn't insensitive at all CaptainH. I was going to post something sort of in the same vein but you have given me pause for thought. It is a pic that will make you smile but I will post it at a later date.

your post was ok CH
lots of redbacks in South Aust....it just means checking the underside of things....like longdrop dunnies. That's a big pit, with a makeshift seat...often a small coorigated thing... no flushing water...just a long drop down...
