Large Spider

Does anyone know what kind of spider this is? Is it poisonous? This thing was about the size of my hand (no joke). My sister said that if I take his fangs out and eat him, I can get enough protein for an entire day.

Dreams by The Cranberries
(me and Matthew’s song) (o:

Forever Young by Alphaville
(the first time I heard this song was when some friends and I were driving through the mountains in northern New Hampshire to go cross-country skiing… that was a much better back drop for this song than this video)

I Ran by A Flock of Seagulls

While trying to catch up on some emails this morning, I came across an older newsletter from him containing a link to the top 5 most dangerous roads in the world. Before I clicked the link, I was expecting to see maybe I-85 going through Atlanta during rush-hour(s) on the list, or maybe in a taxi cab in the heart of New York City, but I was very very wrong. Those seem like a pleasant prairie paths in comparison to these!

Check it out here.
