Vancouver smells tonight.

I don’t mean that as a complaint, just an observation – tonight the entire city of Vancouver and its surrounding suburbs all smell. While we were out scooting tonight, I smelled:

• Freshly cut hay (quite possibly the most delightful smell ever)
• Freshly cut grass (also good)
• Burnt coffee (horrible)
• Delicious foods (yummy)
• Lush (nostalgic and delicious)
• Salmon being smoked (odd but not bad
• Marijuana being smoked (wouldn’t be traffic in Vancouver without it)
• Unidentified roasting flesh (unpleasant)
• Sewage treatment (normal)
• The ocean (fabulous)
• Exhaust (Ed smells)
• Skunks (aka home)

It was mostly nice, sometimes awful, and very strange. Everything was so fragrant tonight, so much so that I am telling the internet. Vancouver smells! A lot!
