ita gave me test anxiety dreams last night.
I did not!
Connie, after a long-ago bad experience with beautiful knives rusting, I don't let any of mine get near moisture (mortal situations naturally excepted, they just haven't arisen...yet). So if you've been slaying snow with yours, you've road tested them way more than I have.
Neato!
It's true that Skeeto is neato.
I just quoted Spiderman in an email to my department chair. I think she'll appreciate it.
So now I'm at work, my boss is not, and the only task I have to do is large and unpleasant and I don't wanna.
My city doesn't have any mysterious nice smells. There is the sulfur by the courthouse I pass every morning. And the glue factory smell right by the 83 overpass. Fells Point always smells of old beer, piss and fish, though that's less of a mystery. After it has been raining a few days, everywhere starts smelling like wet dirty dog.
I will say that in early June, the honeysuckle on the metro/rail fence by my apartment makes the neighborhood smell nice.

And then there's the pervasive vinegar fumes at 83 by Cold Spring!
OMG I dreamt last night about Clive Owen, but he was made up liek Robert Smith from the Cure. It was TEH HOTT!! let me tell you.

This is a good preservative.

Wait, is that the glue factory smell? I guess it could be vinegary. Man, some days when the wind is just right, I have to hold my breath at the first eastbound stoplight.
My city used to have pervasive tobacco-curing smells, which were surprisingly lovely even though I hate the smell of the stuff once it's being smoked. No more, though.

No rust problems yet, I make darn sure to wipe it dry. Maybe the dry climate here helps. But Sting's a really sweet sword, light in the hand, no looseness anywhere, and quick on the backswing. Surprisingly well made for collectors pieces.
