WHOA!

OK...I'm seeing a "spider" with arms/legs of two joints each, like "real" spiders, but with much more agility and obviously more dexterity.

Did I get it? Huh? Huh? Did I?

Yep! I haven't mentioned their size, and on the moon, size for strength is not quite as important as it is on Earth.

Unfortunately, I have a hunch they will be big enough to be scary, but who's gonna see them?

From a distance, they'll probably look cute.

I also have not described the "wrist" joint, which will be complicated, I assure you!

None of us take chances with those!

Well, darn!

You said they were "pop-ups" so I figured one must have popped up in your face.

I'm not going to be on much longer, but I thought I'd at least let you know I'm here for a bit longer. ;o]

The troll is very quiet. Or was...

It actually got down to 68 last night, so with the rain this morning, it was almost too cool for me. Go figger.

I unplugged everything that could be unplugged..
AFTER crash dumping the machine and everything I had open.

Machine is okay, but the light show outside was impressive.
I ended up sitting outside on the front porch watchng the show.

And this one popped up in an impressive way.
We had a circle of lightning all around.. and nothing where I was at.
I could see stars overhead.
And then the clouds rolled over us with tons of rain.

Shelob? This entity?

No. No. More like the little robot in "Spaced Invaders."

It has been quite a bear temperature-wise here.

We're melting.

Actully, I lied. It was more like the little "spiders" in that Tom Selleck film with Gary Simmons (of KISS fame)...what the heck was the name of that movie...???

Anyway, I imagined them larger, but much more intricate and intelligent.

I've seen the movie, but I can't remember what the robots looked like.

All I get is this...
