Hey Ray - Me too. Dolly is a wonderful talent, great singer and song-writer. Did a whole lot to make Porter what he was. It's not Jim Henson, it's Jim Stafford. Do you remember his TV show?

Thought we were posting photos of spiders and snakes...............

This spider dropped down in front of me while I was washing dishes. It looks like a widow with an orange hourglass on the bottom but I don't think it's a black widow.

I looked at a bunch of internet stuff trying to identify it and best I could come up with was a rare Brown Widow spider. The under belly has the hourglass shape in orange while the top side you can see in the photo. I did not kill it but moved it to the porch. Never have seen another and its been a year or so.

Those photos you linked to look somewhat like it. However the abdomen is much smaller. Could be a male version. I understand they are typically smaller than the females.

Jim Stafford may be the prince of novelty songs but Ray Stevens is the KING. ::nod::
