 The width of the "30" on the desk calendar is 1/2"

Biggest Black Widow I ever saw. Came crawling out from under a customer's car as I knelt down to position the car on the lift. Who says being a mechanic isn't dangerous!

Nope, not flat, not squashed, not dead.
I took it outside and let it go in the bushes out by the street.

How unusual. I like the diagonal line and the numbers beneath the sneaky arachnid.
