Old man? The sixties are the youth of old age. Also, far too young to be considered for high office in the world's most powerful democracy.

You're not the only one who keeps a flat cardboard and an upside-down glass at the ready for catching and freeing spiders (and bees, wasps, and moths) found in the house. I don't have the same empathy for mosquitoes, flies, or ticks; but still feel a bit bad about killing something methinks is a conscious being that wants to live just as much as I do. BUT sorry, not in my house. I've been particularly fanatical about swatting flies this fall. And I feel mean.

I’m with you. No spider should die, even though they make me nervous, and some are biters. I can’t stop myself from whisking them outside to carry on with their little lives.
