Those storms and the allergies I get from the cotton gins keep me from living there. I really like the town itself.

Well you just catch live bugs and throw them in the web.I have a giant spider web on the window of my truck.My spider is big-have spider-will travel.When I go to pay for gas they have to be careful not to break the web.

Didja keep your skivies in the freezer. Nah...heat doesn't bother me much. The Iraqis think I'm crazy because I'll go sit out in the heat sometimes to thaw from the A/C.
I hate cold. If it's below 60, I'm shivering. ;-)

She got bored with that.She fell asleep with her head on the bottom of the cage standing up.I asked her what she was doing and she said "Hello"and laugh.
This next story comes to us from a former British soldier.
Dear Sir,
It is with extreme interest that I read your website and its contents. Although I do not disagree with you about the myths and fables told about the camel spider, I ask you to consider the shock experienced by anyone being awakened at night by one of these creatures. In fact, the reason for my contacting you is to tell you a story.
In 1968/69 as a British soldier I spent a 9 month tour of duty in The Arabian Gulf (Bahrein, Oman, Sharjah). As part of a joint British Army/Trucial Oman Scouts group we set up a tented camp in Oman. One morning a Grenadier Guards sergeant (6feet 4inches of pure muscle) received the hock of his life and fainted from that shock when a camel spider dropped from the roof of the mess tent right into his breakfast!
As I said earlier we all heard the stories of anaesthetization before ingestation, but I wonder how many hundreds of years those tales have been in existence?
Yours sincerely
ex-sergeant
