the itsy bitsy spider

Hi everyone,

It looks like a spider or other little insectoid has taken up residence on the lens of our Rochelle webcam, causing a portion of the image to be obliterated by a big black spot.

We really should climb up there with a rag and a bottle of window cleaner, but that will probably take a while. If any of you happen to be around Rochelle and have a good-sized squirt gun, please send me a message (through the profile link below) to let me know if you can give us a hosing.

Thanks!

…Location: Wisconsin, land o’ cows

I presumed that the women up there maybe had a little more winter layering than the SoCal girls do, but man…that’s just plain cold hearted…[;)]

Bugs in the Software…Bugs in the Hardware!

I noticed that little black dot and I was wondering what that was. Maybe its a bug who’s a railfan

Well, the bug is a celebrity now. Somebody go to the dollar store and get a super soaker.

I wouldn’t have really ahve noticed it if you hadn’t said something, but it is interesting that it’s there. So does this mean that sometime here we’ll be watching the cam and a hand will suddenly pop up in a frame, go side to side and then leave again as quick as it came?

and with her great hand eye coordination, also knocked out the camera, destroyed CTC, derailed an SD70MAC and put a crack in her tuffet! Spider meanwhile is recovering from injuries suffered from falling off his perch laughing!
