Thread: Odd smells you like...

I live out in the east bay area near the delta. Driving on a HOT summer night near the cornfields near Brentwood and Byron and highway 12 ... the smell of green growing corn, cut corn, pesticide would hang heavy and stickey in the air. Wow ... it is intoxicating. I guess its not too "weird", but it brings back memories .... now there are alot less cornfields .... they are full of tracked housing now.

I used to love the smell of gasoline (from the 70's)before MTBE was added so it would burn cleaner. Another favorite one that brings back memories is the smell a of cigarette being lit with a match. There's just something about the smell from the mixture of tobacco and phosphorus. My dad use to smoke Pall Mall unfiltered and always lit one with a match. That was a long time ago and I'm just glad he is still around to harass me (he quit smoking around 15+ years ago).

Ah, Pall Mall unfiltered. My Grandfather, a great man and a Korean War vet chain smoked them. He ended up dying much too soon mainly because of them. I'm glad to hear your Dad quit!
