    For context, the cane spiders are about the size of a can of cat food.
    Happy face spiders are cute, big smiley on them.
    The garden spiders with the striped legs that shake their webs when intimidated are my favorite.
    The variety of orb weavers out there are pretty neat too.

    Love the rain forest jungles of Kauai. I might buy Oprah's estate when she tires of it.

    I'll keep a lookout. I was driving in a parking lot with the window down, and all the sudden a Gecko appeared on my wrist. Weirdest thing.

    That has to be a good sign. Geckos are cool. Don't worry about scorpions, the locals fry them up with shrimp for a little spicy flavor.

    I had a gecko that wanted to live in my house for half a year. She chirped a lot at night so I'd shoo her out but she always managed to get back in. I gave up after a while since she had obviously decided she lived there too.

    I probably did stuff that annoyed her as well. Ugh, roommates

    I had an avocado tree there, have one here too but the Denver tree is just for nostalgia since it never has fruited.

    Cant say I had a lot of yield there though because tourist would walk up into my yard from the beach & swipe my fruit. Jerks.

    I found people on my deck once, lounging & whale watching. I was annoyed but arguably it was a better view & they were very apologetic so I brought out the spotting scope & they stayed for dinner. They sent me a card about a month later inviting me to dinner anytime I was in the neighborhood of Iowa. Ha!

    They should have brought you sashimi. And I thought Denver was full of fruits. Forget Iowa.
