Spiders Don't Freak Me Out... Usually

Usually spiders don't freak me out, but when I go out the back door of my basement and run into full body sized web, in the hair, face, and everything, and the 3/4 inch diameter spider is in the web right in front of my eyeball... it's time to freak the hell out!

You should have seen the size of this spider. I was like a ninja all over the place trying to get him off my face.

Nothing like a run under the moonlight and stars... well almost

Nothing like a run under the moonlight and stars...  well almost.  At one point I'm running along in the dark right down the middle of the street and I feel this spider web catch me straight across both eyes... wtf?  What kind of spider can build a web ALL the way across the street?   

And then a while later I'm running along and I pass this guy walking along the sidewalk.  He suddenly starts sprinting and runs past me and stops at the end of the block.  I catch up to him.  He does the same thing again.  I don't know if he was drunk, high, or his cheese just slid off his cracker, but he did it several times until finally, I passed him and heard him start running again, then I hear him say "Oh man", and I didn't see him again.  Like dude, there is a BIG difference between sprinting and distance running...  oh well.  There is one born every minute...
