A couple of weeks ago a spider moved into the luxurious accommodations in my car mirror. A few days after another one (pictured) moved in as well and constructed a web outside the one previously built, shattering my assumption that the area was not prime real estate. They have lived harmoniously ever since. I have found the drama extremely interesting as the larger spider (pictured) runs for the cover of the lip of the mirror every time I start the car up and begin to drive somewhere. Sometimes it will brave the elements and cross it's web as we are doing 80kmh down the road. I figure spiders are used to high winds during storms so it'll be ok, but it's sure funny to watch. It's web unfailingly gets mangled, at which point, when it's safe (and stationary!), it reemerges from it's cover to begin rebuilding again. The original smaller spider seems content to hide within the mirror at all times I am present, presumably only coming out at night, or when 'the coast is clear'.

I have an appointment to get my brakes looked at on Monday. Beforehand I will have to relocate the bold creature into the bushes beside my parking space in fear of it's certain demise at the hands of one or more car technicians. It's new home will only be a few feet away and I am interested to see whether or not it will return when safer times return.
