Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A guy sitting right near me on the bus this morning stepped in dog shit on his way on the bus.

Eeeew.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hah! You are right about the smell, lisah. It is vinegar. [link] " Burns Phips Foods Inc. operates a vinegar plant at the end of Brand Avenue just west of the JFX,"

Aaand, the tank is natural gas. Which creeps me out. (it appears to be unused. Which is a relief.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Downtown Minneapolis often smells like sewage, because of the old water treatment system that ran to the river. Bleah.

I drive past a giant landfill on my way into work each day. It smells pretty foul.

Punishingly Intricate

Hah! You are right about the smell, lisah.

I could have sworn my friend was lying! That's totally something he would make up a story about.

Where I lived in Greensboro NC smelled like cedar and coffee roasting. That was nice.

Because books.

Huh. I edited a mystery once in which that was part of the reason for the murder.

I suppose Vincent Gallo sympathizes.

The smell, not the contents of the tank, though.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think Vincent Gallo's got it.
