The Pestilence
The last two days have been sort of crappy. On Sunday I was working on my lawn when I suddenly felt some movement along my left leg. I looked down to see that I had stepped on a fire-ant mound and the little fuckers were all over my foot (unfortunately, I had elected to wear sandals). Twenty four hours later my foot had swollen up like a balloon. Fortunately, it's starting to subside.
Interestingly, I had to make three (three!) applications of ant poison to kill them. At that point, I knew well that a.) I had been stung many times on the foot and b.) I was going to pay dearly for a.). I decided that if the third application of poison didn't do the trick (thank god it did), that part of the lawn be damned: I was going to get my shotgun, make a desert and call it peace.
