olfaction

Want to know a telltale sign that you need to start eating healthier?

When the smell of a cardboard box makes you hungry for a pizza.

True story.


While on the subject of smells, here's some other odd aromas that I seem to enjoy:

• old books


• new books


• fresh cut grass


• new swimming pool floats (vinyl)


• exhaust (especially from model airplane fuel)


• my Zippo


• the faint smell of skunk (I know...I'm a freak...)


• this one particular oil paint at work that reminds me of my second grade classroom for some reason...


• fish
  
• woodshops


• cedar


• cooking...(Vague you say? Nope, more like all-inclusive.)


• the ocean
• fireworks and fresh-struck matches
