Question of the Day
How do I get rid of fire ants for good?
Answer


Puzzle of the Day
Why is a dog dressed more warmly in summer than he is in winter?
Answer

The little white clouds are racing over the sky, 
And the fields are strewn with the gold of the flower of March, 
The daffodil breaks under foot, and the tasseled larch 
Sways and swings as the thrush goes hurrying by.  
–Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
