I’ve been having a grand time with the family in Madison, but I’m dreading the long drive home. Then, suddenly, in the newspaper, I get a wonderful suggestion for a better way to travel.
It doesn’t include a phone number for reservations. Does anyone know what it is?
A tauntaun spider. If you’re stranded in a blizzard, you can also use its entrails to stay warm.
It’s also -20°C in Morris right now, while Madison is 5-10° warmer. The incentives to travel just aren’t there.
I don’t know the number, but I’m guessing it has 8 digits.
I’ll bet you can find the number on the world wide web.

I hope you have a safe drive home, PZ. We’re supposed to have a major winter storm in the Midwest; and it should start in St. Louis in a couple of hours from when I post this. It looks like it’ll stay way south of you, though.
Soooo many questions about their business model…
Starting a new ride share service called ” Tuber”. Every ride comes with a serving of French Fries or Tater Tots. Sponsored by the 4 Potato brokers who are increasing the price of potatoes to cover the cost. LOL
Dashing through the snow
In a one-spider open sleigh
O’er the webs we go
Laughing all the way
Flies in web-wrap cry
Making spirits high
What fun it is to slurp the life
Out of trapped insects tonight!
Oh!…
Jingle Bells
Spider hell
Venom all the way
Oh what fun to paralyze
And suck the life away!
Oh!…
What to do of you discover a new spider.

BTW the girlfriend of the literary character Herr Doktor Johannes Cabal (necromancer) is a spider demon. But he (wisely) never let her drag luggage.
