Wormocide at FSBC

You've probably never seen a blog post on worms before, unless of course you follow Earth Worm Jim cartoons, enjoy digging for them and look for popular places to do such.  If the ladder is the case, I would definitely suggest you not to waste your time in the flower garden in front of the sanctuary of FSBC.  
When I came to the office yesterday, I noticed several dried up worms in the drive thru, enough to make me want to start counting.  After I got to 40 and noticed I was no where near the end, I looked up.  I was amazed to see that sometime during the night there was a mass exodus of worms from the flower bed, somewhere in the range from 500-1000.  Big gap I know, but I've never counted worms before.  Dried up and dead.  From only one small part of the flower garden.  It was as if they were trying to make it to Reynolds Road to catch a bus, but came up quite short.   
I'm not going to really stretch things here and make some kind of super spiritual connection, just thought it quite odd.  However, feel free to comment and let me know any of your theories as to the fleeing of the Worms.

Look closely, all the brownish, dried up spots are the worms.
