In The News:

• A horde of one of the country’s deadliest spiders has moved into a Georgia woman’s new home — and she’s prepared to take extreme measures to get rid of them. Nicole Photianos jokes, “We should burn it down.” About 30 brown recluse spiders invaded the house shortly after the Photianos family moved in. At least all other insects are gone.
• A survey of employees finds bosses have no idea what their staff do on a daily basis. One in three believe their managers are totally oblivious about the jobs they do on a daily basis.
• Is your dog sad? That may mean that you’re probably on your mobile device too much. Some studies have shown that human relationships aren’t the only ones that suffer when you spend too much time on your phone. Experts say our growing attachment to technology could have negative effects on our pets, too. Dogs especially may feel sad when their owners focus most of their attention toward a screen, and may even develop behavioral issues as a result.
• We all love singing along while driving. But we should be cautious while driving! An Oregon man told police he crashed his car after a bee flew into his mouth while he was singing along with a song on the radio.
