We had one of these spiders hanging in our car port. We just walked around him. They are very big. I find it hard to believe it ate a snake but there you go. Speaking of snakes I found one of those little tree snakes in our yard. Luckily it had the sense to go up before the dogs noticed. I'm guessing I live pretty close to the guy who took the snaps.
Strange stuff to see and learn about. Nature has so many surprises; things we don't expect.

Visibly drizzling here, for the first time in quite a while.

Working from home, my suburb got power back way before work. So I increased my carbon footprint for no reason.

Well this is weird, a local councillor has announced the completion of a cyclone shelter at Edmonton, on the southern outskirts of Cairns. Apparently it's part of a $60million project to build these shelters around Queensland, and, get this, it's co-funded by Abu Dhabi! We get foreign aid from an Arab Emirate. Weirdcool.
Landfall is expected to be "just north of Cairns", which is a bit closer than they were saying yesterday. This is the 2AM (EDT) advisory. The next one is due out in about 40 mins.
