I remember those big black ants. They don't have those in California -
or at least, in the Bay Area, where I live. We get these little tiny
ants. OK, they do travel in huge throngs. But I think I would prefer
to deal with a throng of tiny ants than a single huge one. We had
those in my house when I was young, living on the East Coast. They
freaked me out, and I was often afraid to go to bed, in case one of
them crawled on me at night. Ugh, my skin is crawling just thinking
of it...

This is funny! I was showing a woman at work in a catalog this adorable
little statuette of a kitten sipping out of a teacup when suddenly she
jumped and grabbed her side. I said, "Are you okay?" I'd turned the
page
corner down and she spotted a photo of a snake-lamp and just about jumped
out of her chair! She said, "Oh, it's that snake." Oh! Even a picture
of
one makes her react like that.

With me, it's palmetto bugs. They are like huge flying cockroaches,
common
to the Southern U.S. I once spotted one crawling across the tile floor
while I was in the bathtub. I jumped up, leaped over it and ran naked to
the kitchen to grab a can of bug spray. Then I chased it all around the
bathroom with the spray, chanting "die, die, die!" That would have made
a
hilarious video!

Would it not have been easier to just whack it with a shoe or something?
