If I see spiders first, I like to marvel at their abilities, their shape and other unique features. I used to feed a golden orb spider bits of salami from a pizza!

If they see me first !@#$% *##@!

I've never met a spider that will eat anything that is not moving.

I've heard of a fish called Wanda, but not a salmon, Ella. Ella, sounds like a fast mover tho.

What I found was a air filter with a nasty hole in it. After the long rest in the barn and early in the rehab, I had pulled the plugs, squirted some oil down the holes and was turning the engine using the rear wheel. I thought about the air filter, which had once been a chosen place for a mouse to store dog food long ago. I looked in there and found that a mouse had eaten a hole through the filter. Pulling the carbs revealed that by turning the engine it had sucked dirt, a mouse's nest and filter residue down the tubes to the carbs. It was a lucky time to have stopped turning the engine to check the filter.

Which accounts for your moniker: BARN DEAD R80, I presume?
It least it wasn't a LIVE hornet nest...

Now if you were to have a good sized volcano erupt...
I'm noticing a theme here, Rob. First, the Yellowstone earthquake comment and now a volcano in Hawaii. OK, if we blame some nature program, maybe we should suggest that you watch some trashy TV. Some comedies, maybe. :)

At least something a bit more pastoral.

I've been streaming Green Acres here at work, late at night. Better?

And from what I have seen (I'm no vulcanologist) Hawaii is not the explosive kind, just oozes. Which won't help with the intruders.
