We had those huge wolfe spiders in MO when I was a small boy and my Mom was afraid of them. Spiders also are a very, evil looking predator that kills things many times there size. They are all about biting, you coud say. I have found that contemplating the semi-rational base for the fear, over the years, has greatly deminished my fear of spiders, and similar crawly bugs. mike *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
