Industrious, But Departed...

We have had, for a few weeks now, a very industrious spider living in our passenger side car mirror. Every morning when we get into our motorized transporter, the little webslinger has slung a web between the mirror and the window, before retreating back to the safety of the mirror. Once we glimpsed him - he was just a little feller...

Let’s be honest here - the webs were freakin’ gross, and ran the risk of being sucked into the cabin of our vehicle, even if the window was just ever so slightly rolled down. Let me assure you - THAT would have been a traumatic experience, both for Mrs. That Dan Guy, and subsequently myself.

A couple of days ago, I went to a wand wash, and concentrated specifically (PETA, please quit reading now, and go buy a lollipop) on that passenger-side mirror.

I blasted it with pre-soak. I lambasted it profusely with soapy water. Finally, a high-pressure rinse for an expended period, where the stream of water reached the back of the vehicle, with considerable force. I had to have evicted the little web beggar....

Apparently not. After leaving my volunteer role the other night at a local casino, a web was being weaved right before my very eyes! At 3 AM in the morning!! Which AM would signify all by itself, I know....

This time though, the industrious worker made a mortal error. He was still hard at work, presuming us to be deep in slumber. I grabbed a napkin (Any PETA members still reading? PLEASE - go for a walk in the woods...), and snatched him from his efforts. I walked him over to the far end of the parking lot, and released him back into the wild (yeah, yeah - that’s the ticket!), where he is probably already scoping out new mirrors to inhabit.

Yesterday - no web. What will this morning bring?? Stay tuned, reader(s)...

Chow for now!
