Oh NO!! I think we should blame this all on Carolyn. Did Elaine know they were there? It gets worse the next day. Don't take P over there.

i was at a resort in the pines area of texas (Sam Rayburn country)a few decades ago. the lodges or cabins had just opened up for the season and we had been first business meeting at the resort. That night i went to my room and for some reason i pulled back the covers far enough before sitting down on the bed to change. When pulling back the covers i found a large nest of red ants on the sheets. Since i had a double bed i figured leave them alone it was already 2am and i had a few drinks and really wanted to just get to bed. so i went to the other bed, turned the sheets down and no ants. However, it still bothered me to find the ants in the other bed so i looked further by checking out the pillow and inside between pillow and cover, another nest of ants. i called the front desk and they immediately came out and gave me and another cabin and checked it out completely. i slept very well and was early for breakfast around 6am. Going through the main building lobby i noticed the people behind the reception talking and pointing towards me. I asked one of the workers after breakfast what the excitement was about and he said your room was full of fire ants and had you fallen asleep on those beds you wouldn't be here this morning.
