Have you ever actually seen that movie? It's really bad; one of the worst I've seen, really, but it's always a good movie reference for a day like today.
The second half of my workday was spent with my field crew traversing large, dried up cornfields. We were searching (yes, because my summer field crew lost them) for our sampling equipment. We need to get it out of these cornfields ASAP before the landowners start to harvest; the last thing we need is some huge turbine chucking a metal post into someone's eye. Yeah, that would be bad.
So in the cornfield we were today. It was a little creepy, like Corn Maze creepy. Like you know nothing is going to get you in there, but just the sound of the corn sweeping over you as you walk makes your skin crawl. There were more than a few times that I think I jumped out of my skin because I was sure I saw the Corn Monster or some other completely ridiculous made-up icon of lore.
But today, we truly were The Children of the Corn.
