I don&#8217;t like spiders and while I browsed the &#8220;web&#8221; on an occasional basis, it wasn&#8217;t really something I thought much about. Making web pages was some weird amalgamation of science and art, but not really either. It was definitely not something for a serious scientist (such as a physicist) or a serious abstract scientist (mathematician) and I was a double major in both.<\/p>\n<p>Time passed and I ended up going back to school at Highline. The closest study plan to what I thought I wanted, some programming, involved web development. I am in my last quarter and\u00a0building a web page isn&#8217;t so bad anymore.<\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m not at school, I like to do a lot of hiking and backpacking, but even there I have always tried to avoid running into webs. I will be joined in posting by some of my friends.<\/p>\n<h2>Caught is Right<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_81\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-81\" style=\"width: 132px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-81\" src=\"http:\/\/melsramblings.com\/CSciWordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Reba-portrait-293x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sheltie mix\" width=\"132\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melsramblings.com\/CSciWordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Reba-portrait-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/melsramblings.com\/CSciWordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Reba-portrait.jpg 322w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 132px) 100vw, 132px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-81\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reba &#8211; the faithful trail pup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I&#8217;m Reba, her trusting hiking puppy for many years and she didn&#8217;t ask me whether I wanted to help with this project. \u00a0Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t get to hike anymore, but there may be some posts by me.
