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?

Re: Spiders and Snakes
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.

Re: Spiders and Snakes
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.
