Is that a black widow?

Looks like a spidergawd.  

Killed one in my bathroom yesterday.

>Is that a black widow?

Yes it is and I left it alone....as long as it keeps shop outside.

We get lots of black widows where I live. Inside or out, I squish 'em. Ick.

We get them under the toilet seat at the cabin's kybo

I seem to remember the white one(what was it called?) hooked up to a midi and playing trumpet sounds and shit.

Dunsmuir House and Gardens. Oakland, CA. 8-18-85.

Sure wish I was there.

Mark, the white one was the Bean that he played circa '77. (Spring '77 tour. Yup, that guitar played some shows).

The Wolf is the one that was modified in '89 to play MIDI.

I don't know much about the actual technology, but I do that.....and saw him/them play a bunch of shows with it, and 

they were mostly amazing.

Zooey's "August in California" pic reminded me of my friend Matt Burchett, who died in California two years ago last Thursday the 13th, when a pilot from Cal Fire misjudged elevation and dropped retardant too close to the ground and hit an old tree which fell and killed him. I communicated with his dad last Thursday and they spent the night with family remembering Matt.

Had a flashback driving down to southern Utah the next day (Friday) as I drove near Provo and saw a fire truck on the freeway, bringing back the memory of the drive two years ago from SLC to Provo in a procession to bury Matt. Seriously, he was a GREAT person. And his family is still devastated. So you Californians, feel free to tip one for the ol' boy. 

Matt on his last morning getting instructions.

On a lighter note (please!), here's some pics of my trip to Capitol Reef N.P. this past weekend. 4 day weekend was soooooo needed.  

Here's a creek we soaked in. Looking up at a redrock wall while soaking nekkid in the cool water was amazing.

And here's the view from my buddy's front porch.

I didn't realize when I took the recent pic on July 16 that I was in Ventura 37 years and 364 days since the first GD Ventura shows on 7/17-18/82 which I attended. Best of times.
