Name That Smell?

Submitted by The Original Yoda on Fri, 06/27/2008 - 11:41pm.

air quality

I've smelled something in the air in the last couple of days. I can't put my finger/nose on it.

It smells like a swimming pool and steam from old water boiling in a tea kettle. And there's a note of some painty smelling chemical.

Anyone else smell anything?

Are you up on the west side? If so, I noticed when visiting a friend up there that smell, in this case it comes from neighbors using some sort of intense chemical on their driveway.

Out in my high-end suburb we have a leafy, watersheddy kind of background smell (dirt, water, some flowers). Added to that this morning is a lemon-cleaner smell as well as Omar's Organic brewing in the kitchen.

I just smell fudge.

I didn't smell the smell, today.

Today, I mainly smelled sweat and dust. Fudgey? Perhaps. The aforementioned smell was tracked last Thursday and Friday in Lacey and Oly's east side.

I smelled it too.
