Attack of the World's Most Giant Insect

So we went for a walk with the physical therapist. We decided to go to Buckhorn, and had a series of adventures. When we went to park, we saw an animal running along the side of the road. At first we thought it was a fox, but then decided it was too big. Then we thought...dog? But it really looked too strange to be a dog. The physical therapist suggested it may be a coyote, but we thought it was the wrong color to be that. So we parked, and were a bit nervous about getting out of the car because we were unsure of the animal's temperament, but then we saw another car whose owners got out and tried to call the animal. It began to come to him, and then ran away. The owner of the car gestured towards us and pointed to the departing animal and we shook our heads no. We got out of the car and began our walk, assuming we would never know what the animal was. We had been walking about seven minutes when we suddenly heard a sound that was frighteningly reminiscent of point-blank gunshots. As we were paused and perplexed, a woman came running down the path. She frantically asked us, "Did you see a dog that looks like a fox come this way?" More stunned by the sound than her answering our previous question as to the animal's identity, we asked her, "What was that noise?" She hurriedly said, "Gunshots. Have you seen her?" Uneased, we directed her to where we had seen the "dog," and she ran off, calling after the "dog." We hesitantly walked on, and Mel urged me to take off my brown sweater lest I be mistaken for something that looked good to shoot.
We walked up to a small bridge and then walked back, as we had to get to "choir practice." We got back to the car and got in, when the physical therapist shrieked, "WHAT IS THAT??" while gesticulating toward the window behind me. I turned and saw the world's most giant insect, casually perched on the window. Not quite fazed yet, I reached back and unlocked the door so that the phsyical therapist could get to it and shoo it out. When we withdrew our hand, however, the bug lept from it's perch and disappeared, I assumed, up my sleeve. While screaming and feeling insects crawling all over my body, I tore out of the car and shook myself off. After realizing that I was still alive and unharmed and that there were no insects on me attempting to alter that status, we began to search for where the giant insect had gone. We realized with great horror that it had gone in the direction of our purses and what not, where there were many open nooks and crannies for carnivorous bugs to lie in wait of a victim. We drew back from the car and began to discuss all the worst case scenarios and outcomes of this situation. Perhaps it had gotten into one of our purses. Perhaps it had somehow slithered into the violinist's violin case. Perhaps it was, at that very moment, laying and hatching eggs that were to produce millions of the World's Most Giant Insects that would spring us while we were driving and leave nothing behind but tooth fillings. We were discussing these possibilities when we saw the WMGI crawling slowly up the back of my seat. The violinist cried to the physical therapist, "GET ME A TISSUE!!!!!" The physical therapist ran to the other side of the car and grabbed a box of tissues while we urged her to hurry. She bolted back and threw about six tissues onto the seat. We grabbed them in a haphazard ball, attempted to grab the World's Most Giant Insect, realized there were too many tissues to be able to properly grasp it with, and reduced our ammo to two. We scooped it up, tried to shake it out onto the ground while every moment feeling it crawl up our arm, and finally dumped the entire package into a nearby garbage can. Running into the car, we rolled up the windows and drove away as fast as we could, with our lives and our tooth fillings in hand.

Shh...it's busy...

So it's been pretty quiet around these parts lately. All of us got busy with life I guess. We still have loads of funny stories and experiences that happen, but most of us forget to write them down or "blog them out", so to speak. We are all alive and well. No one is missing, though 1 of us unemployed got a job answering phones at a nationwide retail store. Things are still looked at on the bright side. Hopefully we'll have some good experiences to share again. We'll have to get the ball rolling again.
