Out of the Blue

One of the lessons I learned living with Hudson the wonder dog is what being attacked by a skunk smells like, as my late, great companion's fearless aggression towards such critters managed to get her sprayed repeatedly over the years. The takeaway was that the vaguely sweet/pungent smell one occasionally encounters on the road is from a skunk that was run over, and this is actually somewhat pleasant compared with the smell of having been sprayed directly, which is pretty horrible. A couple of weeks ago I encountered a variation on this... the smell had the vague distant quality of a run-over skunk, but had the sharp nauseous element of a direct attack. This happened again this week, and I finally put together that this was actually the Gunnar man, and the reason it smelled so far off is because once the skunk turned on him, he must have chose discretion over valor, getting a trace of stink during his escape. Definitely a better option from my perspective than trying to wash away that stench.

Oh yeah... make your football picks, though you can probably take a week off and still stay ahead of me.
