Spider in the hole!

Bally,

Good that you're recovering.  Sounds like the American West ... scorpions etc. can get into footwear.

There is some kind o spider here that I don't know what it's really called, but I call them "dancing spiders", because they "roll", right and left like a spun coin settling down, when they move. They are the only ones I know of that will come after you for no good reason. When I was in my 20's, I had one chase me across the floor trying to get at me. Every time I raised my foot to squash it, it would jump as high as my knees and straight at me, so I had to scoot backwards on my feet to keep it from landing on me. I finally killed it by picking up a boot and dropping it on it exactly when it landed on the floor.

Please tell me you're joking   Because I would not have survived that out of sheer terror ! How in the world does any spider jump as high as your knees!!!
