Couldn't open Rick's link. Breeding tarantulas? It's something my daughter might consider, but I'm afraid I'm not into it much. Maybe Judy would consider it. She could send them to Turq. --- hugheshugo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Angela Mailander

Bird navigation is a fascinating phenomenon. I'm glad there are serious people in the world trying to figure this stuff out. I'll bet we are in for lots of surprises as we begin to understand what animals are up to with their Martian intelligence. The lower creatures that God gave us dominion

I agree. I remember how totally blown away I was when I discovered that you can make eye contact with jumping spiders. These are the cute little furry critters that don't build webs but instead lurk at a window's edge and then pounce, tiger-like, on any fly that happens to land on that window

Later, I saw one on a flower stem, and the thing actually played peek-a-boo with me the way a child does, hiding and then coming out to take a shy look and then hiding again. Like a child who is afraid that a monstrously huge creature will eat him! The cute peek-a-boo of terror mixed with

Angela, Curtis, thanks for the anecdote and the website information. Spiders are way cool, IMO. My son's tarantula, Priscilla, a Mexican Redleg, died last year after 20 years of just hanging around. She was already a 3-inch across adult when he got her as a xmas present when he was 11 years

At an ATR course at the San Jacinto (Soboba) Academy, this course participant and I were sitting on a low adobe fence in the twilight and I noticed a lumpishness next to him on the rail. I pointed it out to him, asking, What's that? He took a more mindful look and leaped up like he'd been

Good story, Edg, and excellent Robert Frost. You mention the Soboba Academy -- when were you there? My former spouse and I lead ATR courses there for about a year in '76 and '77. It was a great place and during the time we were there almost heaven on earth -- a great and fun staff, beautiful
