Creepy Gorram Crawlies
Found a spider downstairs. We think it was one of these.
It was probably 3" including legs.
And fast.
Damn was it fast. Like Guinness Book of World Records fast (I shit you not - check out the data sheet.)
Seriously creepifying.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't a hobo - they seem to be smaller.
But it was enough to get us both sorta jumpy.
Yuck.

I have no idea of what kind your dad found in the basement here the other day but it was easily, including legs, the size of the palm of his hand. Looked fuzzy like a tarantula. Glad Laurie wasn't here or you would have heard her scream in Seattle.

What? You want Scott to never come to your house again? :)

Serious wiggens....
I'm not generally afraid of spiders, but when they are big AND fast, well...I'll be jumping onto the couch thank you. Let's just say that I mistook the spider's shadow for a mouse!
And Danny brought a cup to catch it, ha!
