Hearing from the lady who drove her Lumina into the lake in reaction to the spider reminded me of my old “Tom” habits…Years ago when I lived in Tucson, I drove a 72 MGB that perpetually had the top down. As a heat protection habit, whenever parked I would lean both seats forward and drape a towel over the steering wheel and shift knob. One night when I was pumping gas into the car, I noticed that in the space behind the passenger seat were some spider webs and one very contented looking black widow. I did decide to be just a bit more aware of what was in the car from that point on!
