A long dream:

The servers were failing and everyone was told to do backups of all their work, especially recent work, because the servers were about to crash.

I was a journalist and rather famous in my dream, known under a pen name only though. I worked in a small town which may have been Bloomington, Indiana.

There was an important crisis going on, and it was not the servers failing, but I don't know what it was. I had to spread word of it in person because of the failing servers. So I had to reveal my pen name which would open doors for me.

I got to a farm house or anyway a remote house. And there found myself ambushed against a fence by a skunk. I tried to move as little as possible to not cause the skunk to spray. Though I started out facing the skunk I was then facing the house, and I felt the skunk nibbling on me from the back.

A woman came out of the house. I explained who I was. She explained that the skunk was a pet, one of several.
