There's a "suspicious package" that allegedly is small, round, and has a clock on it with some ticking inside was found a block from work around 4:30PM today. The Dane County EOD and another official were on the scene. We saw a guy in a bomb suit (aka "the stay-puff dude") x-ray the package and disappear into a truck. But it didn't seem all that important as I was able to get within 50 feet of it.
Then I walked home. Maybe I will update more later.
Update: It was a kitchen timer.
