War on Clutter
Zule and I are organizing our house for a remodel. Its quite an insane project. We have one of my friends coming over to take a look at the contracting issues. I feel sorry for him. I wonder if I could hypnotize him somehow so after he leaves he could not speak of my house's disarray to others. That would be helpful. If anyone has any hypnosis techniques, feel free to let me know.
O yeah, another orb weaver spider has moved onto our deck. Since I may run into his web in the middle of the night (its blocking the steps), its getting moved. I plan on moving the dude right at 7:30 p.m. which seems to be when they start building their webs. I'd feel bad if he actually built the whole thing and then I knocked it down. As much as I love my spider Karl Rove, having another orb weaver inadvertantly be on my skin when I walk through its web is enough to give me a screaming fit. And in my neighborhood, if someone screams, the neighbors call the cops and then I have to deal with the St. Matthews police.
As nearly as I can determine, the police here:
1) cruise the neighborhood lying in wait for drunks driving from Dutch's tavern,
and;
2) chair parades.
So, a real life screaming woman in a yard might warrant a police response mostly out of the police being bored.
