Anytime a boss ever said anything remotely negative to me, I'd always say "Okay, well I better leave then."
In time, you can train them to be quite pleasant. :laughing
 
Best wishes for recovery to your wife. Actually I wasn’t following the other thread so I just read it now

So, actually, as I briefly posted the other day, my mom actually fell, too… and it may have been on the same day.. or the day before while i was nerding out. Bad fall, 😕

She fell on Monday. We had just gotten back from hiking with the dog.
And she was forcing me to commit crimes again (she said "I want that sign") ;)
Seems so long ago, now.

Ok, as the resident wildlife biologist I have to say that stealing that sign is fucked up. I know it seems like a joke, but it isn't. We are working into tarantula season and this sign is there to make people aware.

Just saying, while it seems like a cool thing to have, it would be cooler of the actual tarantulas had it.

I agree. Fwiw, I put some thought into it and made sure to take it from an area that had multiple signs, and what I deemed to be redundant signage.
But I accept your criticism. Stealing is always wrong and it's high time I start acting like an adult... seriously. :thumbup
I blame her... and look what happened. :x

Years ago I hooked up a hot tub at the last house up the north gate entrance to Mt. Diablo (about 5 miles past the gate.)
When I was done at about 6:00pm the tarantulas were migrating accross the road... there were thousands of them!
I drove as slow as I could, but there was no way to avoid them all... I felt terrible. 🙁

I did not realize this. I wanna go watch this meow.
 
TBH, I was NOT aware of tarantulas at all, while starting a hike on the back of E.B. hills.

this is years ago.

Obv my SO was even less aware

I don't recall seeing a single sign at the time.. .b/c , that sign, definitely looks like a Haloween joke

about 10 years ago I think one of the pop-news channels KPIX or KRON, did a news item on this "the yearly East Bay or The Nut* tarantula migration". So basically it's popularized through the years

(* WC is now known as "The Nut" :rofl)
 
I saw my first ever wild tarantula crossing the road last year on a moto trip, pretty neat, but I'm kinda surprised I saw it as speed.

I did the same thing years ago on Calaveras Road. Stopped and picked up the tarantula, put it in my saddlebag and brought him home. Kept him for a week, to show the kids, fed him crickets, then drove him back out to the corner where I found him.

He probably found love and became dinner soon after.
 
I'm worried about Thumper and Yep. From what I can tell, the fire is about a mile away. But the winds are pointed straight toward her. I hope things change soon and they get this thing under control.
