today in the truck i noticed a gossamer spider web in the corner of the open window. i did not see the resident spider, but assume he was holed up in the space the window rolls up into. therefore, i cannot roll the window up entirely because i would destroy the web and possibly kill the itsy bitsy spider. even if the forecast says rain. the little well in the armrest will fill up with rainwater, but it wouldn't be the first time. and maybe a spider needs a drink sometime too.
there used to be a much larger spider web on the back of my Jeep Wrangler, spun from the roll bar. every morning when i'd get in to drive to work i'd silently apologize to the spider, knowing the wind of my drive would destroy it's careful web. and it did. but every morning, there it was again. until one day it wasn't. i had come to look forward to my spider's daily web, new and fresh and glistening with dew and i always wondered where it's maker crept off to.
or did the spider take one too many chances and fly off as i sped down the road?
