Loxosceles

An author (Laurell K. Hamilton) whose blog I read and who lives in St. Louis, MO, was bitten by a brown recluse. She's recovering nicely, but it makes me shudder when I think about how many recluses I had in my apartment in Lawrence.

Almost completely unrelated, I went blogsurfing and found the blog of cool geeky scientist/writer whose talents include knitting and juggling fire and knives. The connection is that the name of her blog is Loxosceles.
