For
the last few weeks there’s been what looks like small translucent cotton balls flying through
the air. At times it’s been so heavy that it resembles a snowstorm. I’ve
never seen anything like it before. I was riding on the bus home one afternoon and was just fascinated by it; hundreds of dime sized pieces swirling around us, moving at the whim of the wind. The parking lot at work is covered with it. I couldn't resist picking up some of the cottony mass for a closer inspection.
