I cut the grass tonight and Joni did the weed whacking, since I finished before she was done weed whacking (she started WAY after I did), I pulled some weeds from our flower bed.  As I went from the front to the side I felt a burning sensation on my arm...wouldn't you know I was all but covered in fire ants!  The bites weren't that bad...it's that feeling 20 seconds after, multiplied by by the 20 or so bites...it friggin hurt!  Another fine part of my afternoon was when I was cutting the side yard and went over the sewer pipe as I had done so many times in the past, well this time the mower bucked and screeched to a halt but not before pieces of PVC went shooting in all directions.  Funny, that never happened before.  I guess the dirt settled around the pipe or something.  Anyway, trip to Lowes!  We got ant killer and a new pipe cap and all is well.  I think I can hear the bastards screaming out in the yard as we speak!
