If Ebbie wasn't on this thread I say what I really want to say. In the words of the prophet, shazpot!

Ants follow a scent trail. They seem to organize themselves according to 'rules' written in their past, their genes. Pheromones, a subtle substance capable of recalling us all to a distant past we may or may not have had, make the path they follow one and only one direction: straight ahead.

They are amazing creatures, but pheromones are an amazing substance. They are, imo, the drug that will eclipse peyote, psilocybin, Delta-9 THC and alcohol, or at least that's what I've heard.

I'm listening to Willie Nelson's My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. If I was riding a horse, I'd have tears in my eyes. I ain't and I don't. BUT, I'll tell you one thing: if pheromones was floatin' around I'd be checkin' out the clouds, and the ants would be checkin' out each other.

Amen.
