Spiders, Flies, and Pouncers, Oh My!

The following PSA is from my PCHA weekly newsletter, and I thought I'd post it in honor of a few very close friends:

Spiders wait, motionless, for flies to enter their webs. This is when spiders get to eat. If the flies don't start flying, the poor spiders are going to starve. Enter the pounce card. This card helps flies steer clear of any webs they might not want to enter and helps the spiders get a bite to eat when they might otherwise starve - by making their web look a bit more inviting. Flies are much better suited to pounce than spiders, but sometimes they forget this (the card is designed to help situations such as this). Everyone once in a while you might come across the Wild South American Pouncing Spider, but that species is very rare.

Spiders, flies, pouncers, and pouncees should all consult the PCHA guidebook for further rules and regulations, including the ever-popular PUI/PWI clause. Note: PUI/PWI is not considered an offense punishable by law.

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile. Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
