Thunderstorm here, which ended just before I left work. Dunno if there'll be another one later.

I was inattentive because I was bored. Though I was inattentive in algebra because it didn't make any sense to me.

Man, I am glad today that my Facebook feed is an echo chamber in some ways, because all I've seen are positive posts about Caitlyn (neé Bruce) Jenner's cover on Vanity Fair. And she really looks lovely.

Thrive to spite them
For reasons that I don't want to explore... does anyone have ideas of how to get REALLY HORRIBLE odors out of a car.
Right now I can't put the windows down because it's raining. The offending items have been located and disposed of but...it's bad. Right now I have an open container of baking soda doing something (I hope).
There's nothing in the upholstery ...except the smell I guess...but not spills to clean up.
Ideas would be great.

I'm kind of chuffed that the first post I saw on it was Congresswoman Gwen Moore (from my old Milwaukee district).

Oh dear. Strew a giant box of fabric softener sheets all around? Or big bags of coffee grounds?

I didn't think about coffee grounds, not being a coffee drinker. I may try the dryer sheets.
The only Febreeze I have is scented (I bought it by mistake) and I'm worried about creating some kind of mutant horrid scent. The dryer sheets just smell like laundry .

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Crumpled up newspapers can help absorb odors--throw them away after about 24 hours and replace if needed. Kitty litter formulated to keep down odors can help--put a shallow layer of it in a flat pan or tray on the back seat, or the floor. Again, swap it out for fresh after about 24-48 hours. If you're going to use baking soda (which does work), spread it in a layer in a tray or pan. The more of it reaches the contaminated air, the more scent will be absorbed. Again, change or dispose of in at least three days. Once you lessen the scent some, and the absorbent agents are working, spread some coffee beans (better than ground, because the scent hasn't started to dissipate) in a box or tray and leave in the car. Vanilla is another scent that's fairly neutral--it will take the leftover odor out of a plastic cooler something spoiled in, if you coat the bottom and sides of the cooler with straight vanilla extract, and leave open to air. You could use a couple of plastic containers, wipe the insides down with vanilla extract and let sit in the car.
Good luck!
