Woman bitten by spider loses 10 lbs. of skin

HERMISTON, Ore. – A small spider bite turned out to be a big problem for Cindy Pettey. Pettey awoke when she was bitten on the stomach in the middle of the night a few weeks ago, but thought little else of it. Then she started running a fever, she felt achy and weak. The bite sore became larger.

Next thing Pettey knew, a doctor was telling her he believed she’d been bitten by a dangerous hobo spider.

Pettey had surgery that removed 10 pounds of skin and flesh, leaving her with an abdomen covered in stitches.

Blind Hunters Have a Friend in Texas

A Texas lawmaker is trying to end discrimination in hunting. He’s introduced a bill that would give legally blind hunters extra aids. Blind people can now hunt in Texas as long as a seeing companion points out the prey.

The lawmaker says his bill “opens up the fun of hunting to additional people, and I think that’s great.”

Watch the story of Rodney, the only survivor of the crash of Oceanic flight 815 to escape the island.  It’s actually pretty funny and creative if you are a Lost fan, kinda like an SNL skit.
