And Jessica nails it. Brrrrr. Just stay away from the London Zoo's insect house; last time I looked, they actually had a Cost Rican bird-eater. They probably heard me screaming in Basildon.
Astarte, was someone dissing 'zona on spider issues? Not me; I never a saw a spider there either, although I'm told the desert does produce a metric fuckload of black widows, looking for water. My only problem with your state is the climate in summer. Every year, we talk about going down to Scottsdale or Phoenix for spring training (the Giants train there), but every year money issues seem to come up.
I'm sorry that the bartender & alcohol wasn't very good.
Now I know we won't have that problem in NO.
I don't remember there being a lot of spiders in Austin. The only thing that would make me choose NO (well not the only) but one reason for NO over Austin is the concentration of stuff in a walkable, out of the heat, area.
I asked before, but could somebody link to the post with all the info I'd need to get?
Heather, I only saw the one spider in Austin. Alas, it crawled out from under the patio table at which I was sitting, and parked next to my hand.
I don't know what the world record is for getting on the other side of a sliding glass door with no air in one's lungs, but whatever it is, I think I broke it.
I understand you. One is plenty for me too. I usually make Mr. H kill them.
I screamed so loud at seeing one on the wall once that he came tearing down the stairs buck naked to kill it, forgetting that we had company.
ooh, sounds like fun at your house :)
There seemed to be some combining to me. And Arizona does have tarantulas.
Could be I'm just soooooper sensitive to Az dissage.
I think I bookmarked the RFP model Java used. I'll see if I can find it Heather. Remember, we're still in the prelim stages. We want to narrow the choices down a bit by July, IIRC, then have the place selected by Sept.
Right now the item on the table is nailing down dates.

I'm not sure I want to know what he used to kill it.
Luckily the friend who was over worked in the theater when he did, so she'd already seen him naked during costume changes. Not as much embarassment as there could have been.
Yeah, I just want to get stuff done ahead of time while I have time because I never know when I won't-
does that even make sense?
