((hint hint)) Once upon a time I was a Boy Scout. Shut up! NEway, I went to Philmont Scout Camp in Cimarron NM (where all those old crappy westerns that my dad used to watch were shot), which was really cool. I like the Rockies. So how do you keep from dehydrating (especially for a lowlander like me)? You drink about a quart of water before going to bed. This also helps you wake up early in the morning (due to bladder pressure) so you can hike before it becomes (literally) 110 degrees. One morning I'm lying in my pup tent (the one-person small thing) waking up at 4:00 am. Now, here we talk about what a wolf spider is. It doesn't bite. It isn't poisonous. It *is* very hairy, creepy, tarantula looking, and only slightly smaller than a tarantula. It is also right on top of my face. Of course, I'm not completely awake yet, so I haven't noticed. What I have done is begin to do what I do every day when I wake up. Yawn. In short order I was: fully awake feeling the furry legs move around in my mouth standing up and ripping my tent out of the ground hearing the screech "eee eeee!" from *inside* my head and peeing myself silly The moral of this story is: I don't like spiders.
