Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Downtown Jacksonville smells like roasting coffee. But given that we have a Maxwell House plant downtown, this makes sense and there's a reason.

Yeah, that's why it's so funny -- I think we still don't know where it's coming from. Not like the old NECCO plant in Cambridge!

Speaking of the maple smell....

I am looking for a BPAL or another oil perfume that smells like maple syrup. Anyone able to help out?

Sometimes Halifax smells yeasty from a brewery, and sometimes it smells like burnt coffee. Which may also be from a brewery.

“Not dead yet!”

At least it's not a paper mill. That's nasty stuff. We always used to know when we were getting close to Pensacola because we'd smell the paper mill.

Alfalfa processing (for some reason we had an alfalfa processing plant near me) always smelled like pot to me. Very weird.

Also, does anyone know what is up with Livejournal and the layoffs?

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

Heh. The first time I ever smelled pot smoke, I remarked that it smelled like burning alfalfa.

Huh. Years ago, Actuary was consistently #1. Then I heard it dropped to #2 because the supplies of actuaries went way up after it was rated the #1 job for so long.

btw, what do mathematicians do besides teach? When I was in high school, I considered being a mathematician, but I didn't want to teach, so....
