Oh, yeah. Done careful comparisons. They infest old sheds, abandoned clothes heaps, any sort of place they might be able to get me, which I am sure is their goal.

Definetely brown recluses. Memphis is pretty much the heart of brown recluse territory; I think we might have a denser population in west TN than anywhere else.

Are they the secret weapons of the South...?

There's a reason I live high in a concrete tower:  No spider can get anywhere near me.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Who the hell wants to spray poisonous chemicals around their apartment/house if it's not necessary though?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Untrue: I had a rather large one set up shop outside my window when I worked on the 44th floor.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Bugs blown upwards by the high winds tall buildings tend to generate.

My tower is more isolated.  There is no wind-tunnel effect to knock the bugs upwards.
