No not the market, well maybe that, but also this...I had to coral this guy in the dog pen. Our dog Trixie first found him and called our attention to him.
The comments have backed up, I have been busy with client email and an interview, I'll try to catch up on the comments.

Oh my gosh. Your dog didn't get bit??
no one got bitten, thankfully but they are not poisonous. it would have been very painful for Trixie 8 pounds or Cappi four pounds but not deadly.
That sure looks like a tarantula. I used to have one as a pet. The bite is enough to kill a mouse (indeed that is what I fed it), but nothing bigger.
I am doing some shopping this afternoon, looking at global infrastructure funds. I figure we are closer to the bottom than top, and infrastructure will have to be paid for one way or another, even if there is a depression.

It is a tarantula. This will sound crazy but we have a tarantula season and it is now. We are under the impression it is a migratory thing.
"...migratory thing"
More likely a mating thing: Male tarantula's can live about 12 years, females live about twice that long, but males wander in their last year to find a mate after which they usually die (assuming either the female or a pepsis wasp doesn't get them first).
It's very difficult to detect the differences between the sexes -- females are somewhat larger -- but anyone can see it in the mating year because males develop a hook under the top joint of each front leg (to help pin the female's fangs while they mate).
Females are never out of their burrows during the day unless driven out.
Oh behave!
lmao
gotcha! (hee, hee)
Woohoo, Roger's Tarantula Ranch!
