Hello! I'm Andrew Careaga, tucked away in the Missouri Ozarks. Thanks to Andrew for inviting me to take part in this community. What a fantastic adventure it is to be alive and blogging during this pivotal moment in the kingdom. Karen, your recommendation of Steven Johnson's book sounds like a fascinating read. I've always been fascinated by ants and their cooperative societies. You might be interested in this story about a 3,600-mile-long ant colony recently discovered in Europe. Well, there's my two cents' worth for today. I look forward to getting to know you all via this medium. Peace!
