Really. Well atleast you don't have to smell peoples nasty body odor.

Or anything else nasty, for that matter - like the bleach-and-poop odor of the cat shelter where I volunteer (or so it's been described to me); or the deceased animals, in various stages of decomposition, that I go around picking up every day in my glamorous new job ;-)

I think I have truly found my niche ;-)

The only way to describe how bleech and urine smell is:

the taste of sour milk, canned spinach and lemon juice& vodka

swirled together andconsumed all at once

How very vivid. Thank you, that gives me a tangible idea of it.

I had a friend once who took it as a personal challenge to try and describe the smells of the planet to me whenever we were together. It was very thoughtful and creative of her. I don't think I ever thanked her properly.

Gabrielle, if by the most remarkable chance you happen to stumble across this, drop me a line. I had a dream about you last night. You were looking very well.
