too many smells.

year-round, there are lots of smells everywhere.  here in trieste, as you walk around the city you could smell many things.  among these odors could be pleasant things like delicious italian cooking.  it could also be that man next to you who hasn't showered in weeks or the dog poop that your friend just stepped in. 

the smells are the worst on the buses.  at rush hour, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers on a 30 minute bus ride up or down a curvy mountain road when you might already be susceptible to motion sickness? 

and now that it's june, things are getting even more ripe.  the smells are increasing in frequency AND diversity.  and this is not a good thing.

sometimes there are just too many smells. 

ladybird, i miss you!

x!
