When I was a kid growing up in Texas, we had tarantulas everywhere. But I think the fire ants won the day. Same fate for the horny toads and bobwhite quail.

If you go camping, check inside your shoes in the morning.

Definitely a warning worth repeating.

I was up that way the other day to do some kayaking. There are some pretty rough areas.

We took my mother-in-law to a sort of science fair once; one of the presenters had handed her a tarantula and it was crawling all over her arm. I reminded the husband (who HATES spiders) of this the other day, and he said, ‘Mom was weird’.

The politicians, the taxes, the unconstitutional gun laws, the weather, the traffic; about the only good thing is the pizza.

Connecticut house rep Rosa Delauro. Along with Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal, we have a truly awful congressional delegation.
