There was a spider wrangler in there to keep an eye on things. Unfortunately for me she wasn't near the door as she was under the spider who had built it's web most uncomfortable near the heads of tourists. Or at least so I was told by the peeps in my party who made it round the spider one way system of doom.

Surely the first thing you design into a spider exhibit is multiple exits. And just put the buggers in tanks. Of course they were harmless but that's not the point!

The Natural History Museum in L.A. does an annual Butterfly Pavilion followed by the Spider Pavilion -- same big tent. So you can imagine what happens to the stragglers from butterfly season! It does give me the heebie jeebies.

Took my son to London Zoo today. I haven't been for many years. I'm not 100% sold on zoos, especially city zoos where space is tight. However I do love a good reptile and insect house which city zoos do really well. Two things stood out - we saw a baby sloth and I accidentally wandered into a spider house where hand sized spiders are just hanging out. I walked into the exhibit named "In With The Spiders" saying "Are they in tanks or literally out and about?" Once I'd figured out they were literally out and about and the adrenaline rose and I bolted back to the door trying not to look like an idiot who is scared of spiders who wandered into a spider house, I realised the automatic door was one way and closed! Before I shamed myself weeping and hammering on the door, someone came too close and triggered it! I thought everything came with trigger warnings these days. The name may have been a giveaway but why didn't they clearly say on the outside they meant it literally?!?! I can cope with a big spider in a tank but not hanging about above my head 😱.

I'd be most concerned about protecting the spiders from people (and especially from British tourists...).

I would totally go into this, and I would be screaming on the inside SO SO MUCH SCREAMING.

Thankfully in the bedroom even though it started way past my normal bedtime. It was worth the yawns.

I got myself one of those ludicrously pimping Secretlab chairs. Now my descent into midlife crisis is almost complete.

[Tsundoku]

Holy shit those things are fucking ghastly expensive! Good for you but still ...

Not much change out of $AU1000!

Must have heated massage fingers or make you coffee and give you BJs while milking the prostate or something.

I took the day off today. Gonna have a nap.

My name was the last to be called for dismissal. I was number 21 which left me in the last seat where jury sits and I got numerous questions asked of me. Glad I’m off the hook as those last few hrs were done with a minor flare up starting.

There's been a lot of discussion and examination regarding CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder) and the troubling trend of apex pollinators disappearing. Man, I think I remember first reading about it probably more then 10 years ago, but I saw something that lifted my hopes. So I was sitting in the drive-thru this morning waiting to get my go to caffeinated fix (med. hot coffee, light roast, with a double shot). Perfect spring morning, clear, calm and warm. Sitting there, I look over at one of the trees lining the drive-thru lane. The tree is in full flowerage, and I shit you not almost every flower had a bee buzzing away doing its sexy-time pollination chores. It was quite the site to behold. There must have been hundreds, nay, thousands of them. So that was encouraging to see. There is hope, right?

Have seen a good amount of big fluffy bumble bees floating about here too recently, well up from the last few years, maybe there is hope!

Doing my first live podcast this Sunday coming. Oddly, I'm not nervous - just excited. It could lead to things, and stuff.

DIY'ed the shit out of purchasing and installing some rain water collection buts over the bank holiday weekend. Hack saw, spirit level, tape measure, pencil, drill. Oh yes, I used them all.

Just need it to rain now and I'll find out if I did it right.

Pleased at my DIY skills so I can water my plants more often without feeling bad, but also there's a part of me thinking I'll survive longer in a global crisis now. So long as rain water remains a thing. Solar power and growing at least one staple crop is needed for true survival potential. Nuclear winter permitting and all.
