There was murder on Pendle Street this morning; True story. I’m staying with my family at an AirBnB in South Bend, Indiana. We’re going to the University of Notre Dame campus to witness and celebrate a granddaughter’s graduation. I got up early (5 a.m) and headed for the shower. I planned to beat the rush for the shpwer. I glanced at myself in the mirror and stared at the hair day from hell. I closed my eyes to avoid the frightful mirror image and turned toward the shower. I turned the shower on and waited until the temperature was perfect. I pulled back the shower curtain and jammed the brakes. Staring at me was a spider trying to escape the flash flood created by the shower. iThere was no way I was going to share the shower with a spider. I had no choice. I’ll claim self defense. I dispatched the spider with a wad of toilet paper.
