The amazing spider from Corsicana Texas

I had to go down to the Russell Stover plant to check out some roofing issues they were having. On my way back I see this tiny little spider sitting on my windshield. I was thinking to my self this is pretty amazing since I am doing about 65mph and this guy is sticking to my window like nothing is going on. So I think to myself that if I go faster he might fly off. So I hit about 90mph at one point and hes still there. And now hes walking around like hes mocking me for trying to get him off my windshield. I would have put my windshield wipers on but I am currently out of washer fluid and I prefer not to have a streak of spider all along the windshield. He really lucked out. Imagine sitting on a Giant mountain made of glass during a huricane with Giant rubber blades trying to smear you all over the mountain. Thats got to be a rough life. Oh well I guess I'kll stop rambling about my amazing spider experience. And I never knew what happened to him. He eventually walked up to my roof and hopefully dissappeared. I managed to snap a pic of him while driving down I45.

It probably flew off and died when it hit the top.

I carried a bug home 25 miles from work that was clinging to my wiper once. He never flew off until I parked on the driveway.

It would have been better if you wouldve gotten pulled over:

Officer: "Sir, did you know you were doing 90 in a 70?"

You: You see Officer, there was this spider on my windshield, I swear...."

I was thinking I had a valid excuse to be going 90 as I never go that fast since I am getting paid to drive so I take my time and set the cruise to exactly the speed limit. But this spider was a trooper. You can see he had a couple legs up in the air. I guess when he would lift a leg he finally got tired and couldnt put it back down because of the wind....damn am I tired...Why am I on here this late....I just go back from the damn bar.....good night

I'd be half tempted to give a warning just for the unique excuse.

Jamzwayne lives just east of Corsicana, that may have been him trying out his Halloween costume.

and I hate spiders just as much as anyone! I swear if it was in my truck I would have to pull over until I knew it was dead or out of the truck.
