I found a black widow spider in my closet a few days ago. This is just the most recent in a long line of animal friends that have decided to visit, or live, in our house. I ended up trapping the spider in a tupperware container, after typing "black widow" into google images for a quick ID check, and letting it go in the wash behind our house. Apparently, the vast majority of the time the bite of this spider is not fatal. Female spiders are the only ones who are poisonous, and they are attracted to places that are dark.
In other news it got up to 103 degrees and I was wielding a shovel most of the day. Dang, it was hot. I drank more water today than I've had in the previous 9 months combined. I was told that this is how hot it is throughout all of June. I need to prepare for this mental and physical challenge and come up with some ways to stay cool while working on roofs and in ditches.
