Each day presents new challenges for chemorecognition. The microscopic sensors w/in my nose are continually assaulted shortly after leaving the house....The neighbor has burned toast again, the deli down the street is frying some poor creature, someone urinated in the corner recently, the singed hair smell of overheating subway brakes, the plentiful cologne, BO, perfume aromas, and all those unidentifiable smells... I probably never want to know the identity of or source. But never do I settle into the comforting smells of decomposing leaf litter, sweet fragrance of plant sex or reassuring smells of organic processes. For those I must travel at least 2 hours away from this heavily homosapianed environment.
Even the rain has a pungent, lived in smell...
