Outdoor pool over the weekend. We're the only humans there at the time, but in terms of non-human denizens, it was the invasion of the giant insects and arachnoids.
My husband has started to swim laps, and all of a sudden, he's waving me down in the middle of my warm up because there's a giant wolf spider in the gutter that he'd grabbed ahold of when he finished the length, and he felt like we needed to get it out of the gutter so he didn't end up palming it again.
Another reason to do flip turns, kids: your odds of grabbing Giant Wolf Spiders lurking in pool gutters greatly decreases.
