Reminds me of the red ant hives when I put poison grain on them. I wonder how long it will be before they rip it up again? Paul |

I would be scared of getting run over. I also can't believe how fast those workers move. Did the company put Meth in their Gatorade? Any company would love to have employees that can finish a job like that in 12 minutes flat. Dave |
