        I’ve been terrified of spiders since I was a toddler. Still, whenever I say hi to Pete who set up his web in the corner just above my one and only house plant, I think about the nasty stuff he gobbles up so that I don’t have to deal with them. Thanks, Pete. Stay away, but thanks. You’ll be kept warm in the winter. :::: )
