EEEeevenin' all! [sip]

A good friend of mine was a Navy corpsman, spent a lot of time training in the jungles of panama with the Marines. He told stories of the "banana spiders" there. Big yellow jobs, the size of salad plates. They were harmless really, but they liked to crawl into warm, tight places... like sleeping bags. the guys would wake up in the morning with six of 'em in the bag with 'em.

Just hearing the story gave me a case of the willies that lasted a week or so. [shudder]

Glad there's no banana spiders here! Yeah, the creepy part is that they like to crawl into sleeping bags and such. I knew there were some in the basement but didn't think there were any up here in the bedroom. Guess I know better now. . .
