[I'm having trouble with my news server, so apologies if you
 have seen this before. BTW can someone tell me if this is getting
 through to the newsgroup]


<Sigh> A few nights ago I was returning home from a short drive.
As I went to open the car door, I just happened to notice
a spider (about the size of my hand!) on the drivers
side window. ummm on the INSIDE of the window about 25 cm's away
from my head and roughly eye level. This was mildly surprising
to say the least!

I recognized it as a Huntsman, but that was about as much as
I knew. So I veeeeeeery gently opened the door and let it out.

It turns out that Huntsman aren't lethal, but have a nasty bite and
apparently like to jump. I'm glad I didn't know this at the time ;)

That was my inspiration for tonights picture

          /---.'.__             ____//

      //           (/'==='\)'-._\     ||
      ||                        \\    \|
      ||                         \\    '
snd   |/                          \\
                                   ||
                                   ||
                                   \\
                                    '

And I think it had only three legs on one side,
if anyone noticed. If anyone wants to add a fourth
leg, feel free too. But I think the left set of
legs will need to be re-arranged.
