Good morning, I've been noticing that visitors to the site have been well spread around the world. I'll try and keep something a little more than just my daily diary. Speaking of which --
Lost our first game in the flight we were in so were out and got home before noon. I puttered about here while M took the ladies and went to the outlet stores in Anthem. Wallace's came for dinner and we started to watch amost stupid western, gave up on it and went to bed.
Before I move on from our Ecuador job, I should relate the story of the tarantula.
Again, we were living right out in the jungle and this one morning after I had left for work, a tarantula came through the open door and Maryann found him scuttling across the floor. Never having seen an 8 inch spider before she got rather rattled(?). She grabbed a broom and tried to shoo or maybe sweep it out side. Well tarantulas don't know about shooing and it wasn't about to be swept anywhere. It ran into various corners and under chairs. About this time Monica arrived and promptly started screaming and jumped up on the chesterfield which in turn ignited Maryann to do like wise. However after a moment she realized this wasn't solving the problem.
She finall y remembered that we had bought a spray can of insecticide for an ant problem and she sprayed that poor spider until he/ she died. She then successfully swept it out side.
The guards had arrived by this time and she was quickly told that killing the thing here in the park was a real no no. All that day it became the thing to do was to shake their heads whenever they saw her and go tsk, tsk. Actually it was their way of teasing and they got a laugh afterwards.
