Extract

Thanks very much for the article, “Afternoon in June”. I got a big kick out of it. I’ve passed some very interesting moments myself watching ants fight. “Go to the ant thou sluggard.” Bunk. They’re dumb as hell. A mud-dauber has much more sense. But they’re sweet fighters on the bulldog type.
