# BASTROP FEDERAL PEN HOUSES WHITE VEHICLES - BUT FOR WHAT? Bastrop, TX
Nestled behind a hillside, just out of sight from busy Highway 95 in
Bastrop County, Texas, lies a growing fleet of nearly 1000 showroom-new
SUVs, 4WD pickups, suburbans and vans. These vehicles are not overflow

All the vehicles are U.N. White. http://alltexas.net/news/bastrop.html

# Ant colony on verge of extinction. ISHIKARI, Japan (AP) - A man in a white
sun hat walks slowly through a patch of sea grass on the coast of northern
Japan, searching. He bends down when he finds what he was looking for, a
small hole in a pile of sand - the entryway to the largest colony of ants
ever found on earth. For Prof. Seigo Higashi, this is not just an anthill,
it's a life's work. For 28 years, he has studied, counted and even lived
among the hundreds of millions of Japanese red wood ants that dwell on
this strip of shoreline. Today, he is watching their ancient empire die.
