Very Slight LBC Content:
My In-laws used to live in Ardmore about 11 miles outside of town
near a lake. When I visited them I was surprised, stunned, amazed,
to see the Tarantulas !!. I lived in the NE part of Oklahoma and
I had never heard that there were Tarantulas in Oklahoma. I drove
the 11 miles into Ardmore one August evening about 6:00 pm and they
would be slowly crossing the road. I saw about 1 per mile, or approximately
20 during the trip to and from Ardmore. I'm talking BIG Tarantulas, not
baby size. Hollywood, horror, Sci-Fi, BIIIG Tarantulas. If I were driving
aMidget and one of those big babies choose to jump upon the hood, I'd pick up
that car and run....
