In a message dated 2/13/2007 5:41:08 PM Pacific Standard Time, I dunno...my fantastic son used to carry the black widows out into the desert, so I wouldn't smash them when I found them. That was when he was a teen. Now I see his big foot going down on the Desert Recluses (he was bit by one, ouch!) with no problem, and gave me a shovel in case a Rattler pays me a visit by the trailer. Yes, I revere life, but Barbara, we also, are part of that life and should not be in danger from other species.
