A spider bit me in the face Saturday morning, after I stepped right into its web. I could feel it there right above the orbit of my right eye, and pinched it in my fingers. A little one, not anywhere near as big as the orb weaver I found by our front steps Friday afternoon, and presumably one that’s officially harmless to humans. I couldn’t find any bite marks, but it was a bit achey all afternoon. A good reminder to be more alert in the woods.
I keep remembering how I used to remind my anthro students that no civilization in the history of humankind has lasted forever. Is it weird that knowing the end is normal makes me feel better? All the best with the book work...and enjoy your holiday.
I really look forward to your intelligent and thoughtful posts.
Thank you. They are terrific.
