Here it is next to a tire air pressure gauge. It's watching me.

I'm kinda arachnaphobic. If I'm not mistaken thats a Brown Recluse. Which are pretty poisonous. *shiver*

Nope, no way is that a brown recluse. Brown recluses have much smaller tops, and larger bottoms - also, their legs are thinner and longer. Fortunately, there are only two deadly spiders in Texas (brown recluses and black widows), so there was nothing to fear from this guy. Heck, even a black widow generally only kills the old/young/infirm. :)
