this is the spider who lives in the driver’s side mirror on our car. every night he builds a web between mirror and car door, and every day it falls apart when i drive on the expressway, and he crawls in behind the mirror for safety.

it’s so gross and creepy and fascinating that i can’t bring myself to evict him. or her. what if it’s a her and she has a million spider babies who crawl in through the air vents? excuse me, i need to go wash my car.

when i was in college this same thing happened to me, only it was on my bike handlebars. and the spider was much smaller.
