Animal encounters: The cool, the cute and the ee-gad!

[athenaltena]

Mom and I just got back from taking the kayaks out on Lake Wyola. Luckily the morons with motorboats have retired for the season, so there were no hollering people causing big waves and scaring off the wildlife. So, the animal tally was:

1 great blue heron, who let me watch it for a minute before flying off
1 red eared slider (turtle) who was sunning on a piece of an old dock
1 big-ass wolf spider who was somehow in the cockpit *shiver*

I left the spider alone, but very nearly screamed when I saw it on my leg. It then jumped off and hid under my seat. Yeagh! I usually don't mind spiders, but that thing was too big and too close. Honestly, it was the size of a fricking tarantula. Hopefully it's "jumped ship" by now and gone to build its nest somewhere else.

In other news I got in the mail the "Holy Bible" of Russian verbs, 501 Russian Verbs, fully conjugated in all tenses, that mom ordered from Amazon for me. Definately need it for this clas. Now I need to put my name in big letters on both covers and the spine so the other people don't lift it. The class cleaned out all the books in the town, hence why Amazon was used.

And I find this strangely appropriate for some reason:
