I've been revising today. Mid-afternoon, a large spider scuttled across my toes and stopped next to the trash can. Without thinking, I picked up the nearest book and threw it on top of said spider, crushing it. To my amusement, the nearest book turned out to be Where the Bodies Are, a guide to finding "rich, famous and Interesting" grave sites throughout America.
That's sites by the way, not cites.

Aw - poor little spider.
I always escort spiders out of my home, I never kill them. Actually I thinkj it's the same spider who gets thrown out every day...

I am a spider escort too! Wives' tales say killing a spider will make it rain.
I had a camper I was in charge of one summer kill a spider. I said, "Haup! It's gonna rain!" She just laughed at me. Few days later it rained. She said, "Oh my gosh! You were right!"
Of course, we were in Austin, Texas. I had the weather odds in my favor. The fact that she remembered what I said through to the next rain storm was the amazing thing!
