Barking Spider!

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Ever since I was little, whenever someone in my family farts loudly, they say it was a “barking spider”.  Little did I know, there really is a barking spider, Selenocosmia crassipes. And all this time I just thought my family was crazy.

Today Craig hiked up Mount Washington.  Being the nerds that we are, he called me from the top to tell me to look at the webcam on the observatory. So there he is in the middle.  His uncle is on the right. And on the left is either his father or some random person.  It’s hard to tell from the grainy picture.  The random person doesn’t have hiking poles like Craig’s dad would have. Craig didn’t say his dad was going, but if he was a complete stranger, why would he be standing so close to them? I guess there is an “x” to show you where to stand, but I don’t like to get that close to people I don’t know. I like my bubble of personal space.
