Creative work. I got a chuckle out of this one for some reason. Thanks for sharing. I remember one day I saw a lizard on top of an active fire ant mound and the ants were not bothering the lizard. I often think about that ant and wonder why the ants did not attack it. Sara K

LOL Bill. As a fellow Texan, I know you understand that last line. My papa used to say lizards carry a stick in their mouth when they cross the road, stick it upright and climb it to let their feet cool. Ha! Yes, it truly does get hot enough to fry an egg - tested and proven theory. Thanks for stopping by! :)
