What a difference a day makes

The sixth day (or day five, whichever, we’re flexible). The ants are no longer congregated in the center of their aquarium. They’ve either had a disagreement or reached some kind of consensus and have split into two groups. One faction is on the left and another is on the right. No one is playing centrist at the moment.

Still no tunnels.

    Are the ones on the right wearing flag lapel pins?

    I hadn’t noticed if any were or not, so I went back to check. The ants on the left had all moved back to the center while the ones on the right were still busy over there being on the right. So I turned the aquarium around and now they’re on the left.

    I shouldn’t have done this as I read they don’t like earthquakes. But I also have read of a little girl who carried her ant farm with her everywhere, even to her bed, and still they tunneled like crazy.

    P.S. I felt guilty about being so capricious with them and returned the aquarium to its original position on the shelf.

    I once bought some ants in gel
    They know how to tunnel? Like hell.
    Pure politicians
    taking sides on their mission
    and getting nothing done very well.
