Comments  that Walt and anyone experienced with fire ants might care to talk
about.

Last May I spent a week recording in Cairo, GA and found that I was often in
areas containing numerous fire ant mounds.

These innocent looking mounds became a horde of angry ants if you disturbed
the surface of the mound and I was constantly looking where I walked. Some
how I avoided getting stung.

The one thing I never did was to venture into the fields at night but stayed
on the safety of the numerous dirt roads.

More than once I thought of Walt out at night recording frogs and wondered
if he ever had problems with these creatures.
