Age 2014-02-08, 22:20:10 Every morning, a spider makes a small web, at head height, between the lemon tree and the patio, and every morning I walk into it and get a facefull of web.By the next morning the spider has forgotten that all his effort had been for naught and builds another one, and I have forgotten that the web will be there for sure and walk into it again. In short, as I have aged, my memory has degenerated to that of a spider.

Re: Age Reply #3 – 2014-02-09, 04:17:55 Eh, it could be worse. I had a steady run in with the light fixture outside of my house. Consequences of being in a hurry mostly. At least the web isn't visible at every angle.
Re: Age Reply #4 – 2014-02-09, 08:24:39 Peehaps the spider's memory is just fine.It's trying to catch you tt.
Re: Age Reply #5 – 2014-02-09, 08:50:15 You might be onto something.This is the guy that lives under the house. Maybe he has some kind of arrangement with the little spider to do all the work for a share of the kill, my liver for example.
Re: Age Reply #6 – 2014-02-09, 09:29:40 Those "web-designers" are female. Maybe she likes you and is trying to mate with you?
Re: Age Reply #7 – 2014-02-09, 09:47:57 Yeap, sex seems to be the objective, the spider's trying to court tt92. She's clearly a tarantula so tt92 will be eaten after mating.I wonder what a spider-parrot would be... a spiders that talks, a parrot that crawls with eight little legs...Mysteries from down under. Age's good for Port and other selected wines.
