Losers, weepers
I live in a duplex. My neighbor’s home sits further back from the road than mine, but we share a carport out front, divided down the middle by a galvanized fence. The same fencing extends across the back of his carport to separate it from my yard. There’s a narrow alley-like strip between his caport fence and my screened lanai. The alley opens onto my side yard, the one with the herb garden and the new lawn. I rarely go in there, but it’s a convenient spot to store some gardening supplies and my tiki torches. I’ve gone in a few times lately to take the photos of my spider friend. Today I went in there to rake up leaves. Found the interesting little zip bag pictured above. It took a moment for me to realize what I was seeing. My first thought was “Uh-oh, wonder if M & S know.” My duplex neighbors have three young adult kids at home & I figured the envelope had blown under the fence from their carport. I’m pretty sure my neighbors would not be happy to think that their kids had brought drugs home, even something as innocuous as this. You never can tell, of course but the kids don’t seem the type. Then I realized that the baggie was directly beneath the spot where my builder and his helper stepped off of the carport roof to access the lanai roof when they repaired it a few months ago. This would be the helper who used to leave every day for his lunchtime indulgence because he knew I didn’t want him smoking his stuff on my property. It makes perfect sense that this was probably his property and has been sitting for several months right where he dropped it. I think I won’t let him know I found it, since it’s been flushed away now. No, I didn’t care that he smoked a little weed, but I did ask him not to bring it to my home. Guess he forgot the rules. His loss.

Lol! I didn’t recognize the baggie design, Joana. Can you tell I’m pretty much oblivious to pop culture?

Ummm…he probably forgot, being a pot head and all! At least you found it first. Could have been a potentially sticky situation for you had someone else found it first. I remember talking to another realtor who found a crack vial in her son’s stuff. She had no idea what it was (totally clueless) and was going to ask her friend who worked for the sheriff’s department. She was carrying it around in her purse for over a week at the time.

You should have taken an ultra closeup of this for next week’s teaser. Of course, people might pretend not to know what it was.
Any ideas about what effect the stuff has on spidey senses? More tingling? Less tingling? Less worried about the tingling?

Ai, ai, ai, Guru! I actually had to do a double-take when I found it, just because I’m not used to seeing the stuff up close and personal. Just a split-second pause and it clicked what I was seeing. I was relieved it wasn’t crack because I’d have felt obligated to turn that over to the cops. I would never have put it in my purse or car, regardless of what it was. I kept it long enough to take a couple of pictures then flushed it.

Well, Jules, if it’s legal to sell candy-flavored tobacco products, you know the drug industry wouldn’t be far behind in capturing that market, hm?

Martin, there was a recent well-publiczed experiment where spiders were given drugs - cocaine, I think? Anyway, they built really strange webs while under the influence. Hmmm, maybe that explains what’s going on with my spider, you think?
