I dream of an old “B” movie, set out in the desert, where a colony of gigantic ants is nesting…..
\n“Them” is a 1954 movie that warned of the dangers of atomic bomb testing.
\nUnfortunately, after a hiatus, we are once again inundated by ants. It’s Dear Husband’s job to deal with them. He has his ant-killing dowel rod. He humanely squashes them flat, and then leaves them for the other ants to get the message that this is not a safe place to visit. Frankly, I don’t care to have piles of ant carcases littering my floor. Luckily, other ants will come and collect those bodies. We assume there is a little ant cemetery somewhere in the basement.
\nProbably the only good aspect of this invasion is that I have help cleaning up after dinner. We don’t leave food out to tempt visitors, and anything found with an ant in it gets pitched. There was one in my iced tea the other day. YUCK!!!!
\nThere’s an ant crawling on my monitor. What could be there to interest it?? I’d hope that it somehow gets fried in the computer, but with my luck that would make the computer crash. Go AWAY, Ant!
\nNOW HEAR THIS! I want all ants, and all spiders…for that matter, ALL BUGS to be off the premises by 5:00 tonight! Pack yer bags guys and GIT!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
