Ants!

Yesterday morning I went down to the kitchen to make my morning pot of coffee. Hmmm . . . While I was putting the ground coffee in the filter, I noticed an ant crawling around on the counter. That's not an oddity in our kitchen, so I promptly squashed him, washed him down the sink, and went on in preparing my coffee. My next step was to take the back part of the coffee maker out to fill it with water. As I was taking it over to the sink, I noticed that the ant had invited his friends to come crawl all over that part of the coffee maker! I rinsed the water canister out as well as I could, sending quite a few ants to a watery grave. Hopefully I got them all. But, what can a little protein matter, right? Coffee, any one?
