Day 54: Unwelcome Habitants

My car needs a wash, it's painful to see. There are spider webs on it, bird poop, leaves, Cleveland's acidic rain, did I mention spider webs.

Behind my driver's side rear view mirror lives a giant fist sized hairy beast of a spider. He's been spinning a storm and I am no certain that the inside of the mirror must be a place of horror, full of mosquito carcasses and his personal disgusting remains.

I am totally grossed out by this spider but incapacitated by my fear of creepy crawly things to do anything to annihilate him.

I'm actually afraid that if I try to kill him with my shoe that he's going to turn out to be some kind of flying bat spider that will jump onto me and attack me. I can actually visualize this in my mind.

So, my plan of action at this point is to take the Honda through a drive through car wash and hope that the vigorous cleansing will purge him from my life.

Help. :|

"Some kind of flying bat spider?"

1) Carwash
2) Speaking from personal experience: Use the vacuum at the carwash to suck him out from behind the mirror.

You know with all the hormones in our food and soil, I would not be surprised if some kind of genetic splicing was creating horrifying new insect/mammal breeds like flying bat spiders. You should also be afraid, that is the only way we can be prepared.
