It's another huntsman spider... but this time it was in my kitchen. I was sitting at the table and heard a rustling amongst the packaged seaweed... man, it was shockingly big! But fairly harmless, or so I hear, so I took out a straw fly swatter, and gently sang a little song as I moved everything off the shelf and the spider into this bin...sigh...

With spiders like that, I don't think you would need an alarm clock. How could you fall asleep in the first place? Dad

Hmm... maybe my posts are showing up differently than you see them on the other side of the globe, because I'm suprised no one's guessed by now. I don't want to give away the answer, so lemme have one of my peep's check out the validity from your side of the globe... stay tuned
