[Jolly Amaranto]

I still have two wisdom teeth, both on the left side and well adjusted. When I was in high school, I lost a bunch of teeth while playing baseball. Thrown bat took out all of my upper right jaw from my buck teeth to my wisdom tooth. Not much left up there even for implants so I have a partial plate. The lower wisdom tooth on the right came in sideways so had that taken out. I do most of my food masticating on the left side because there is not much bone to support the plate on the right side. It is basically cosmetic. So, my remaining wisdom teeth get a good workout. The wisdom tooth extraction was a picnic compared to the accident.
Now fire ants and I are constantly at war. I keep the mounds controlled in the yard but every time it rains new queens drop out of the sky, loose their wings and start new colonies. I seem to have built up a tolerance for the bites as they don't hurt as much as they used to and only swell up in a little welt for a few hours, then disappear. Up at the old home place in central Texas I pour molten lead down their holes then dig up the resulting castings. They almost look like coral when you get all the dirt washed out from the nooks and crannies. All the little buggers are vaporized instantly and it is safe to dig when it cools down.
