Strange update.

flewellynSorry I haven't updated in awhile. A month, actually. I've been rather busy.
Today is very strange, though. I got up to drive to work, and noticed that the town was very quiet. Quieter than usual, I mean; Fargo-Moorhead is not exactly a bustling burg, but usually I hear some traffic noise. Not much today.
Odd smell over the town, too. I don't mean the normal "sugar beet plant" smell, which is disgusting but familiar (for those not in the know, it smells like a savory mix of skunk musk, rotting eggs, and used sanitary napkins). This was different; it had an almost spicy undertone, like incense.
I noticed on the drive up to work that the turkeys were out in force. The males were fluffing feathers at anything that passed them by, and the females were herding their chicks away from people. Usually they don't care much about people, though they're smart enough to avoid the cars on the roads.
We've had a lot of rain lately, so there's a lot of standing water in various ditches. Usually said pools of water do not have coatings of greenish slime over them, however.
And why weren't there more people around on the drive up? It was raining, so I imagine the kids would not be playing outdoors, but I didn't see many cars, either.
Something strange is going on.
