Just a bit of humor that I forgot to share.

Most of you know that I live in deep south Texas... I was setting up the event late Friday afternoon... and these things were *everywhere*.

Normally, corner workers stand in the grass... not this time!

What stories of danger do you have? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I run with the local PCA group.. we run about once a month at the Cameron County Airport... it's near SPI - The tarantulas are out typically in our May/June -> September and sometimes October events. http://www.rgvpca.org and http://forums.rgvpca.org

Harlingen/the valley has come a long way in the ~5 years I've been here... only thing to add to your list is medical... I guess that could fall into your 'employed by retirement' category (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My wife is a Perfusionist (the person who operates the heart-lung machine during bypass surgery). She did a couple of stints (no pun intended) at Valley Baptist. The second one wasn't so wonderful. When she was there, I would come down on the weekends and we would go running/hiking in the parks/arroyos and sometimes drive to South Padre Island (SPI). It was fun time, and almost like living two lives, but I'm glad she is home. While she was there, we tried to get me an IT position, but it seems all they do down there is Windows.

In all my ventures there, we never saw a tarantula. I got my fill of them in Cayos Cochinos, but I've never seen one in the wild in the states. They are mostly harmless.
