the ants, the ants!

the ants, the ants!

The recent cold snap we’ve had has caused all the ants outside to come into our apartment. (I’m not kidding – I’m pretty sure all the ants in Atlanta are inside our place.) The first few attacked the bathroom a while ago, and now they’ve moved on to all other rooms except the bedroom. Yesterday marks them reaching the kitchen so now dirty dishes can’t be left. I should take some pictures, but I’m feeling lazy right now. :-p So…

something needs to be done

I was talking to my mom tonight and I was surprised to hear that she hadn’t heard about the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). So, I sent her a link and I decided that I’d blog about it here to help promote awareness. This is something I feel very strongly against. I think it’s throwing the baby out with the bathwater – and in general I oppose laws that do that. If you don’t know what I am talking…
