Random olfactory observation
It's been a week since I got rid of the Pine Weapons on my property. Still enjoying the novelty of spacious skies and fearless days, which will undoubtedly wear off with time.
One odd thing: it seems that I'm able to pick up good smells in the air that weren't there before. This could be a post hoc coincidence ... I'm way too good at causalizing correlations ... but it's been going for 8 days now, through several kinds of weather. Nice smoky smells from nearby wood-burners are far more prevalent now.
Did the trees rechannel the wind around my house? Or was the constant presence of pine effluvia desensitizing my nasal nerves to related aromas? Probably never know. ¶ 10:16 AM
