The cafe was very crowded, but there was a table for four that wasn’t occupied. I asked if I could sit there. The waitress said it was okay as long as I didn’t mind ants. When I asked her what she meant, she explained that ants were coming into the cafe and climbing up to the ceiling. The staff didn’t know what to do. When I sat at the table, I saw some ants going up the wall. I think the ants may come into the cafe because there are woods all around the place. Does anyone know how to get rid of ants?

When you think of dangerous wild animals, what do you think of? In the western U.S., there are bears and pumas (large wild cats). In the eastern U.S., there is a bird that can be a problem: the wild turkey. These birds are much bigger than chickens, and they live in the countryside. Recently, a mail carrier for the post office in New Jersey was attacked by turkeys as he was getting out of his truck. He called his boss, and the boss called the police saying, “You’re not going to believe this, but…” The police sent some officers to the truck, and they rescued the mail carrier.  (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
