    And this is why I love living in the city.

    Even tho my neighborhood is sketchy and I run the risk of being chased by an actual person haha.

    The prospect seems less frightening then whatever the hell that thing is.

    Usually dogs, and deer, and I hope I never come across one of those. If I do that will be the fastest I have ever ran in my life.

    I would not have even stopped to take a picture. I'd be running back home faster than Forrest Gump, and climbing under my covers.

    Google says it's a Chilean rose tarantula. Apparently they can shoot barbed hairs into your eyes... I'm SO glad now that I stopped :p

    I got chased by biting horse flies on my last 15 mile bike ride a few months ago. I made it through my ride in record time.

    I can deal with spiders. Snakes, on the other hand ... :frown: luckily all I have to deal with are fenced in barking dogs!

    I had 2 bunnies join me on a run in the spring. I felt like a Disney princess, minus the needing a man to save/marry me bit. :wink:

    I've had raccoons chase me, and I've accidentally startled deer more than once, but I'd rather be chased by a raccoon that that huge spider! Yikes!

    I had a fox run in front of me one morning and stayed within a few feet of me for about a mile. I almost emptied my bladder when he darted out in front of me but it ended up being fantastic.

    I live in Arkansas and I can't tell you how many of those things I see on the road on the way to my parents house. They live maybe 2-3 miles out of city limits. I don't mind spiders as long as they are the size of a quarter or SMALLER!! But even driving those things freak me out!!! We also have alot of scorpions around here. They are sand colored so they blend in with the ground really easily. But at least they aren't the deadly ones!
