Yeah, I've seen that same species of jumping spider in WA but here in SoCal, they're like 5 times bigger. I guess it's because of the long warm season, and this one had an abundant supply of flies. That's a horse coral.

And finally, here you can see the natural landscape where I am now. SoCal. High desert, about 3800 ft elevation, San Bernadino County. About 1.5 hours drive from Hollywood, CA. I know, crappy phone pic but that's the only camera I have on me at all times.



Had a really bad windstorm yesterday. In fact, the wind is still pretty bad right now. Anyway, when it first started, gusts were up to 60mph and this huge brown cloud swooped down over us and it got very dark at around 2:30 in the afternoon. (Dust storm) At times, it was dark enough that street lights started turning on. The dust passed pretty quickly and skies were blue again a few minutes later. Parts of Riverside/L.A. metro area are still without power since yesterday. Some parts of SoCal saw gusts up to 90mph. yikes. Went from 80 degrees to about 42 in a matter of 2 hours. Through it all, not a drop of rain.
