Ants

On my way to dropping off MacKenzie at scool (Noah is still home sick), I listened to the radio as the DJs were talking about ants — I came in the middle of the commentary, but it seemed they were making fun of people's problems with ants. One of the DJs had ants in his house and they had crawled onto a yellow shirt (on his bed?). The other DJ was making fun of the whole situation as if he had never heard of an ant problem in South Carolina — are you kidding me? Ants OWN South Carolina, especially fire ants! We have been lucky that ants have not been a problem inside our house; but outside it is a different story! Fire ant mounds are everywhere! Forget about killing them — those suckers are tough! Every time it rains, dozens of mounds pop everywhere!

I don't know about other states in the US, but in South Carolina, fire ants own the place!
