I recommend not reading this thread directly before bedding down for the night.
If you live in Florida, Check your helmet first!!

A few years back I worked a job at the Comanche Peak Nuke Plant SW of Foat Wuth, TX.
I was warned about checking my shoes, the shower curtain, under the bed, etc. for critters like spiders and scorpions.
One day I was out for a ride in my car, and I came up on a bunch of brown spots all over the road - about 200, I guess. Before I had time to finish wondering "WTH?" I heard them popping and splattering in my wheel wells.
I had just run over a herd of tarantulas crossing the road.

My wife is the same way. One time we had a fairly large spider on our deck, and she freaked out. Knocked it off the deck with a chair, then saw it was still alive, so she came inside, GOT HER PISTOL, and unloaded on it while it was on the ground.
Life is never boring with this woman...

Wow, Mike, so sorry to hear about your wife's ordeal. I hope she is doing better.
My rule is, if it is in the house, it is dead!!!! Outside and minding its own business, even if I get in its way, is OK. Gets in my way or comes after me, DEAD!!!!!
I was heading back to ST Louis MO from Dallas TX a couple years ago and was on route 69 (?). Anyway, out in the middle of nowhere OK and I see down the road this large black spot in the road. I am thinking debri, just straddle it and no biggy. I get closer, I see a leg stick out and the black spot starts to move. I freaked out. It was a huge spider. I finally at the last minute decided to straddle it, cause after all I was in a car doing 60 mph and it was a spider not hurting anything. I look in my rear view mirror to make sure I didn't kill it and it was no where to be seen. Now I really start to freak out. I am thinking this thing jumped up onto my car and is trying to find a way inside. I stopped for gas about an hour later and I tell you, I was a little scared to get out of my car. I was wishing they still had the full service gas stations. But I finally sucked it up and got out of the car. Didn't see anything crawl off while standing up on the isle by the gas pump and didn't see anything on the tires. I figure that spider was fast and moved off the road. When I drove back down there the next week, I kept the windows up and picking wildflowers on the side of the road (was going to dry them and send them in one of the soldier's care packages - a little bit of home) was off my list.
