The Parachuter

Or...is it a parachutist?

My poor little red truck is sitting in my driveway, because it won't start. Distributor cap, I think.

While the problem is irritating, it did give me tonight's blip. You see, this medium-sized spider has taken up residence in the bed of the truck. The main part of the web is up against the cab, but "she" has 2 support strings...one to the wheel-well, and one all the way to the tailgate.

I'm glad we spotted her...I was about to settle on a dove...'tho it was a cute dove.

You might be asking...what could Tim possibly know about parachuting? I'm here to tell you...I HAVE jumped out of a plane. At 3,000 feet. My brother and I did it many years ago. My first and last jump. Thrilling, but one jump was enough.

The spider was going to be eating well. I counted 17 small flies that were trapped in her web. Yummy.
