    We just found a jumping spider hanging off the living room ceiling fan (probably came in with a load of firewood), and the spider identification graphic popped up on my son's Facebook page, so I thought I should share it here out of an abundance of caution, in case anyone else needed assistance with firewood related spider identification. Kinda like a PSA.

    Yup, those OWB's are looking pretty good about now, no?

    While onloading some munitions at Pearl Harbors West Loch, saw the largest spider in my life on the side of a building.

    Was told it was a cane spider. Another thing they had in Hawaii is big centipedes. Big, agressive centipedes-with attitudes!

    Spiders don't bother me but man I hate rats. Been working in the city and man them freaking things are everywhere. Even saw rats and cats eating out of the same trash bag right next to each other.
