    Woke up this morning scratching my lower leg with my other foot. Seemed to get worse so I turned on the light to perform an examination. Some one, or some thing had it's way with my upper ankle. Sure looks like spider bites but I've NEVER seen a spider in my truck.

    We actually arrived 2 hours early for our appointment, and we were just hoping to be let in.

    We actually have a door, and are being unloaded.

    The OM is pleased.

    That's why they're called Recluse 's.

    One gnawed on my brother one year up in WHY-OH-MING way, way up in the Snowy Range.

    He was B'n and I was laughing hysterically. He had a welt about the size of a 50 cent piece right in the center of his chest.

    About 10 minutes later it crawled up the wall from behind his bed. About the size of a silver dollar.

    Needless to say, it died, and I was completely useless until about lunchtime.

    Fire ants look similar too. Are you in the deep south?

    You'd feel a fire ant.

    Maybe a 38 could take down a giant ant.
