Great story.
Hey there WN... Long time no see. :-)
I hope all is well with you.
Gotta love the description about how Camel spiders aren't "really" 12 inches across. They're "only" five inches across. Yeah. That helps. :-)
Well, you know me, I like spiders. I've kinda been wanting to see one of those camel spiders in person. Sorry, I know you're cringing now. Tom keeps insisting that if I met a camel spider I wouldn't like it - but I think I oughtta at least have my own chance to see.
now, there's some snakes he's been tellin' me about.... Well, lets just say *those* could keep me in the states!
Gees wouldn't it be wonderful if every classroom in America could adopt soldiers like this? We could be looking at an awesome patriotic country when those schoolkids grow up.
