It's a VandenPlas Princess that's been parked behind the Millerton Inn for many years. It's in pretty good condition. But I don't want it. 🫤

It was at the Blackhawks store on Michigan Ave. I was in Chicago for RSNA in 2015, so I can't guarantee the mosaic is still there.


 

I had saved the picture from my google photos to show a coworker. Here a few others from the store

Went to dinner tonight at Bill's, our usual Saturday night venue, and was greeted with this scene. It turned out to be a minor incident (not food related), but it changed our plans for the evening.

Alright, I get the usual "kill it with fire" things but have you ever watched one of these guys in action?  Freaking amazing.  This one has been maintaining a web between a couple of the dock posts for the past three weeks.  

We've been watching while enjoying a cocktail (or two).  Guy has to make a living!

I call them "wall friends" smiley  Live and let live.

 

I had a giant spider, like almost mouse sized, living under my toolbox for a while.  I called her Debbie, short for Debbie Hairy.  As long as they are smart/nonaggressive enough to run away from people, they're cool.

If they run TOWARDS me they get stomped.

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

We have big wolf spiders (I think that's what they are) that we call dock spiders that hang out under / around the dock posts.  Some of them get pretty big, like a 3 inch wing span and a bluish furry body about the size of a quarter. They typically head the other way as you approach, the kids used to name them.  They are all tolerated outside of the house as they live here, we just visit.
