Spider Strong

            
            I've discovered that spiders are creatures of habit. There are two spots in my cabin that I constantly have to clean spider webs away from. I'll sweep a web away and a day or two later it's back. It's an ongoing battle. I sweep, and the spider says,"we will rebuild!"
            I've always admired this quality in people. A disaster occurs and destroys a neighborhood and a reporter puts a microphone in the face of a home owner. 
            What are you going to do now? asks the reporter.
            We're going to rebuild!
            And that's what spiders do. There's no logic to it. You'd think after four or five disasters you'd move on and maybe find another spot. Somewhere far from the broom, but no, they don't do that. They have a spider strong mentality. "We're spider strong! We will rebuild!"
            No, don't rebuild! Move somewhere else! Find another corner! Find a tree! Find a weight lifting bench! 
            But we're spider strong!
            Aye, aye, aye.
