Back in the middle 70's, when I was stationed at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, I was on my way to work --- it was about 6:30 am --- I opened the front door and there in the middle of the screen door was a huge tarantula. Scared the you-know-what out of me!!! I let out this blood-curdling scream and my husband came a running. He just laughed, got an empty coffee can scooped him up and took him to the back yard! Needless to say I was late for work that morning.
