The total weight of ants in the world is greater than the total weight of humans. This fascinating fact was revealed on “Wild Australia” last night as I watched the insects being devoured by the thorny devil, a lizard species. Since my husband was traveling, I took the time to indulge in the Nat Geo Wild channel. Earlier in the day I provided background noise for my granddaughter with the “Lost Treasures of Egypt.” Apparently I’m recording that series, even though I’ve already seen it. (They’re still searching for Cleopatra’s tomb, by the way, even in reruns.)
Around 8 pm I saved myself when I remembered NFL Football was actually on Monday night! It used to be my favorite activity when my husband was off selling in the world. Kids to bed, popcorn, and Michaels and Dierdorf narrating the game. After watching a snake devour a rodent I opted to stick with football, thinking it would be tamer. However, it took me longer than I thought to unwind from the drama of the game with its exciting overtime.
Maybe Mother Nature is a better pre-bedtime option after all.
What a great way to wind down at the end of the day by watching a snake devour something
