It was a cool spider! The guy was as big as my hand!!!! I had to bring him home from work so I could take pictures of him. I assure you, he should have no problem finding food in my garden.
I thought I remembered it that way, but didn't want to say unless I was sure of the facts (and I'm terminally lazy that way). No point in arguing; I'm afraid I don't have your self-restraint on the issue (but I do admire your sense of humor)...
