More Proof of the Evil Nature of Spiders

Check this photo out.... What is the tiny little barely visible black dot, you wonder? Well, let me tell you friend... this little black beastie is a black widow spider. Yes, a real one. Where was this phot taken? My back patio.
As you know, I have arachnaphobic tendancies bordering on the insane . This morning, when I was outside making sure my dog didn't fly away in the tornado-like winds we were experiencing at 5:30am, I noticed this little bastard trying to make a run for my back door. I guess he had been de-homed in the winds and he was making his way for the warmth and secure setting that is my house. I, of course, welcomed him with the bottom of my shoe that I scrambled to find in my un-used gym back next to the dining room table. How dare he? Isn't it winter? Aren't the little f**kers supposed to be dead? or in some underground fortress beginning their winter hibernation ceremonies with the devil himself?
