I picked up an issue of The Onion this afternoon, my favorite source for unbiased news, and my horoscope reads: Your life will soon be divided into Pre-Angering-Of-The-Ants and Post-Angering-Of-The-Ants eras.The reason for my concern is that I don't have any plans to even cross paths with ants, and I keep thinking, the trail--what if I cross paths with ants on the trail? I've seen ants while hiking before. Most of the time, they seem pretty docile, but what if I accidentally trip over a bunch of them? What if they become angry that I ate all of my food rather than leaving scraps on the ground? Have I not given enough consideration about ants during my hike?
I don't know, but it sounds ominous. Then I thought, no.... it's Wassa. Wassa must have hacked The Onion. It's the only logical explanation. *shaking head*

I am surprised with your concern! A seasoned hiker such as yourself should be well aware that you will not be threatened by ants if you wear a bell to alert them that your are coming. If that should fail for any reason then use your pepper spray to chase them away.☺
what! You mean to tell me you don't leave a trail of bread crumbs behind you so you can find your way back home? Poor ants.
I don't like hearing this news, as you know, you and I have the same sign. I don't plan on meeting up with any ants in the near future, but then I'm not on a trail in 40 days, either. As long as they are not fire ants, what's the problem?

Drats! He saw through my fiendishly clever scheme...
That's why our feet are bigger than ants.
Hike On!
