Well, not Florida (land), but the arrival of the Liguus may be young,
from wherever (Cuba seems the going consensus).

I dunno, I will not mention names, but they do not taste very good (even
with garlic & seasonings)and left tingling sensation in mouth. I
guarantee that fire ants will not eat them. I placed two that had
spirals (meat) left in them on an fire ant nest and they did not eat
them. Maybe they were veggie ants.

 Probably, this Saturday.
 
To Paleo? I have the sched at home when is it? I dunno, maybe. Jorge,
"the young", just got his acceptance letter to UF (engineering) so I
will be a local pest for many trips during the next years. Maybe I can
swing "Preview" together with Paleofest. Gotta look at schedules.
