Another downside to the Southwest aside from the neverending heat is all the yucky, nasty bugs and other dangerous creatures that seem to be everywhere. Normally I am not the squeamish type. Spiders don't bother me one little bit. Unless of course you're talking about a black widow that has decided to set up camp right outside my door. We've had about 5 of these such spiders recently. EEK!
Normally I'm a catch and release sort of girl, but I really don't feel comfortable having bunches of these little guys (err... gals) hanging around with my two dogs and very curious and grabby Ellie. I feel bad that they have to die, but they really must to preserve my sanity.

That's one pretty scary looking
spider. I usually have no problem
killing innocent spiders. And in
this case well... I have even less
problem.
Ewwww...I did NOT click that pic for bigger.
lovely blog! didn't want to drop on by without saying hello. Nasty spider, though! Ewww
Thank you, I get a lot of dirty looks when I mention how much I hate Arizona. I, too, am from the Midwest (NE Missouri) and while I don't like cold weather, I don't like this hell they call Phoenix, either.
I just found your blog while searching for mine on google - find it funny that yours has the same name, mine is http://stuckinaz.blogspot.com/ and I too hate Arizona.....have been plotting my escape for almost two years.
