Serious question, and I might bring in @Tom Polakis for this...do they have to tweak that a little somehow every year to get that timing perfect?

There's probably enough wiggle room in the appearance to not have to worry about it for decades, but the altitude and azimuth do change by a couple hundredths of a degree every year. That's because the earth's axis wobbles like a top. It's called precession, and the entire cycle takes 26,000 years.

About the same length of time to get an arena built in Arizona

I've found 3 baby snakes in my basement. Small, like 5-6 inches long. I think they are black rat snakes. I didn't find them all at once. The first one was a month go, and then one today. Question: should I be looking for mama living in my basement?

Yes, and make plenty of hissing noises. Also, take video and post that here.

I met a woman who had a house in Paradise Valley (she'd been through a messy divorce; the house was probably pretty nice though, not too far from XG :) ) She posted a pic of a tarantula on her garage door and I was like "Nope. Nope, nope, nope. Don't care how rich I get, can't live in PV now"

A tarantula usually won't bite though. They look intimidating, but are as sweet as a golden retriever. Think Lawson Crouse.

I know all that; reptilian brain, though. Ironically, reptiles don't usually bother me; although one time recently I was home in Florida walking on a footpath and saw a gator sunning itself near a retention pond along the path. "Did this used to not bother me when I lived here? Because that seems crazy now"

Still in Kansas. Just moved into a 1910 farmhouse on 4 acres. Needless to say...more critters out here than in the burbs.

This is the suspected culprit.

Was out working cattle in the HQ pens with the boys one day and the wife comes out with an extremely serious and perturbed look on her face. She says there’s a snake in the bathroom, I immediately told the boys to carry on and that I’d be back directly. That their pic… that’s what I found wrapped around the tub/shower plumbing, accurate in size and all. All I can tell you is they stink like hell when cut up and beaten! :thumbu:

Before y’all spout off about stink’n up the house…. I wrapped it around the death shovel before I took it outside for its final trespass reward.

haha...even better, I was going to take the trash out, and what happens to be on the door frame when I open the door leading to the garage...the biggest tarantula I've ever seen, looked like it was out of a comic book it was so huge. I was immediately paralyzed. Couldn't walk out the door.

Had to go get a broom, walk out through the back yard, open the garage and then hit it with the broom stretching out as far as I could get it. I just swept it into the street and was freaked the f*** out the entire time.

Needless to say, every time I opened that door leading to the garage for a month, I scanned before walking out.

It seriously affected my decision to move here 30 years ago - I knew they existed here but I have yet to see one....I often wonder what exactly I would do should I find myself in your situation (I've handled black widows in my garage ok, for what it's worth)....however... a Circle K near me went out of business a few years ago and is now...an exotic pet store. Mostly reptiles, but I'm sure there's spiders in there for sale...and every time I walk past it....brrrr
