Portents 2?

Okay this is scary.

Monday, on the way to work after dropping son at school on that same road where flying things joust with car grills ...

Okay I don't drive in the middle lane any more if I can help it. Used to feel safe there but not so much now after that flying thing.
So I'm driving in the slow lane, the furthest from the center median over which the other direction's road traffic lanes are.
Luckily we'd gotten out of bed and on the road early so traffic wasn't thick.

There's this object in my lane.. about the height of the car's front hood and about that wide and deep. Had time to slow down to let the car in the 'dangerous' middle land get by so I could move over. Someone lost either their refrigerator or maybe their heat pump. I was a bit too busy mentally patting myself and the car down even if we didn't make contact with 'the thing'. Holy Fricking Shit. Tomorrow we'll be back on that highway. Need to pack a change of underwear. Am thinking that the only lane that's safe is the one where you drive 10 miles over the speed limit.

Also it's March 1st Presidential (and other elected offices) Primary voting Day today. Temperature outside is 68 F/20 C. It's been a warm winter this year. And my son had to rescue me from a spider the same color as the recliner chair. Thing was on the chair arm, on its 8 spidy legs as bold as can be, walking towards me. We keep clean glass jars for spider removals. Spider is relearning how to live outside where there are geckos to eat it.

You know normal jars aren't big enough to remove five foot tall spiders, right? For that you need Ezekiel.

Again... cause I have a mind like a sieve on a rainy day, where can I find this Ezekiel story?

5 foot tall spiders, you don't need a jar. You just have to be able to outrun the people with you. Tripping those people is considered unfair.
