A few weeks ago, I mentioned the spiders we have around here – brown recluses and black widows, and the many little cobs that keep hanging up the cobwebs after I take them down. I even mentioned this to a good friend of mine, H of the Fab Four (I guess we could call her #3 because she is the third oldest). Anyway, #3H (doesn't that make you think of pencils?) sent me a surprise package from Lee Valley Tools that arrived in the mail last Friday. Lo and behold, what do you think was in it? A SPIDER CATCHER. Two of them! It means I never have to get less than three feet from a spider again. It works like this:
Dear 3H, the spider colony here thanks you for your kindness, and I do too. When you come to visit, you will find one of the spider catchers under your pillow. As for Spider Catcher 2, I'm going to lean it up against the wall so the spiders can see who they're dealing with: somebody who's armed.
