Ants, Ants, And More Ants
I was in a war all morning using my hands to kill a few hundred ants and a few of them fought back. I have three or four bites but fortunately I grabbed the ants just as they started to bite so no itch so far. For some reason ants have decided that the place to be is in my laundry basket. I had the same problem earlier in the year and thought I was safe again. This morning I grabbed the laundry basket to sort the clothes for washing and saw that the basket was crawling with ants. Having to get rid of them is bad enough but the little devils eat holes in my clothes. Fortunately I did not find any holes in my new pants and shirts but my brand new underwear was not so lucky. I had the basket near my bed until last night when I moved to the other end of the room and I don’t think there were any ants at that time. They marched in during the night and had a feast. Think I will get a hanging laundry bag and see if that will keep them away. I have also been fighting ants on the sink and cabinet most of the summer. What they find so appetizing on stainless steel I will never know.
I went to Wal-Mart this afternoon to get an adapter for the MP3 player. On the way to Ruston I was listening to a book on the MP3 player through the tape player in the car and it was working just fine and then all at once it just switched from one book to another. I assumed it was the recording but then tonight I was going to put all the books I have downloaded on the player and it just went off and it will not turn on again. So, now I have to drive to Ruston again so that I can return the player. If they do not have another red one then I will go to Radio Shack and get a red one there for I know they have two on the rack and I doubt they have sold both since the last time I was in the store. A black one would be all right but the markings are easier to see on the red. I am beginning to think that I am not supposed to own a MP3 player.
