It's the pungent smell of home sweet home! At least, for those of us who grew up in, well, basically a swamp/marsh. :-) Inhaling that smell after being away at college for months at a time was a welcome thing. Plus, some kinds of stink is a good stink. For example, the smell of a good mess of collards slowly simmering in a pot with some red potatoes and fatback kind of simulates a household where the inhabitants are all experiencing, well, bowel problems. But when you know it's the greens and not the other, it can really start you salivating! I know what your thinking.... your thinking "Rick, that's why the rest of the country makes fun of Southerners!" Wish I could argue that point, but it's true. :-) Rick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
