Really odd random spider thought

[anigo]

So there's this spider. He's been living in the driver side mirror of my car for the past couple of days. It's become a thing with me. I'm not a spider fan, don't get me wrong, but it's like this little guy... he spins this web between the window and the mirror every time the car's parked for any lenght of time, and then I get in the car and drive and he holds on to the web for dear life, and manages to make it back to the safety of the mirror and the web's destroyed. And then the next time I come out to the car, there he is, spinning his web again. I swear to god, I'm going to have an accident watching him (and rooting for him to hold on) as I battle through morning and evening traffic.

I've toyed with the thought of taking him off the car and putting him in the grass or something, but he's safe(ish) from birds and frogs in the car mirror, and for some reason I've kinda reached a point where I like seeing him there. Go spider go!!!

I wonder if there's a moral in there somewhere. Could go either way couldn't it? Like hang in there, or then again, don't be so stupid as to build a web on a car, go build a web in a nice safe tree somewhere.

S'all a matter of persepctive isnt it.

So far he's hanging in there. S'ok by me.

In spite of my arachnaphobia, I think I would have rather dealt with this problem this summer than the wasps that decided the mirror housings in both cars were an ideal place to set up residence.

I am mean - I sprayed Raid and water to discourage them. Next year I think I am going to put recloseable plastic bags over the mirrors when the cars are parked.

Also - this kind of reminds me of a story involving Robert the Bruce, if I am not mistaken.

Spiders are tolerable. Wasps, not so much.
