I drove by Little gull last Sunday, and if I had my camera I would taken some pics, because I have been thinking the same thing.

Back on page 11, Bill showed us Ebb's "engineering table". Wonder if the lack of updates indicates too much time at the table and not enough on lil gull ? ;-) Only teasing Ebb....you are creating a masterpeace...extremely well thought out and engineered. Now...about those updates ........

As I walked by something caught my eye and I stopped.
A crane fly was caught in a spider's web
It furiously tried to get untangled, beating its wings, bouncing rhythmically in air.
Each time the spider approached the fly became more frantic making the spider back off a little.
The crane fly was more than twice the size of its captor.
It seemed to be tiring. The bouncing stopped.
The fly quietly and deliberately used a free leg to strip an invisible sticky thread from a fouled leg as the spider came closer and closer.
Just as the spider was ready to pounce the leg came free!
But the fly was still caught, it helicoptered its wings again and broke away,
landing close by, seeming to shiver.
The spider remained suspended and still poised to wrap up the catch of a lifetime.
Watching the drama, I thought about helping the flier get loose from the trapper.
Wondered if that would change the course of the universe.
I was sure the fly wasn't going to make it.
