Toodling Tarantula

[Veronica]

Thom and I rode up Diablo today to the Junction. I'm still getting over my student induced cold, so I was not in any hurry and the phrase toodling tarantula kept going through my head.

I was surprised that in spite of not pushing it, I had a fairly decent average speed and kept my cadence up pretty high. It was nice to have a day off with my honey too. It wasn't as pretty of a day as yesterday; the sky was a bit overcast when we took off, but the poppies are out in full force.

And here I thought you were gonna post about my favorite multi-legged creatures!

And here I was thinking "it's too early in the season for tarantulas".

On the other hand, the salamanders are out in full force !!

Tarantulas totally creep me out, and I'm not actually sure I could out-run one climbing Mt. Diablo!

I almost didn't even read this post because I was afraid there's be a photo. Thanks, Snap!

They don't move very fast. Thank gawd.

I used to keep tarantulas. They are fascinating, beautiful, and do all kinds of amazing things.

oh my gosh, I'm so afraid of spiders. When I find daddylonglegs in my apartment I have to resort to running for the vacuum cleaner. The initial discovery is usually accompanied by a horror-film-worthy scream. I'll bet you can't vacuum tarantulas !!!
