Smell you later...

So, there are basically three smells on the van:

1. High school gym - that strange combination of body odor, dirty clothing and moisture
2. Leftover ketchup - i.e. ketchup that has been left out on a plate at least overnight, but probably longer, now has a film over it and the odor has taken on a life of its own
3. A combination of menthol cigarettes and that pink powdered soap that some high schools have in their facilities

I feel strongly that I am not responsible for any of these smells.

Interestingly, the worst of these is the cigarette and powdered soap combo. It really turns my stomach. Unfortunately, the smells seem to be seasonal. The ketchup smell lingered through the fall and winter, but now I'm suffering through the spring of my olfactory discontent (via smoke & soap).

Spring is finally in the air, people, and that's not necessarily good news. Here's looking forward to summer, which should transport me back to basketball games and spirit assemblies.

*I almost titled this entry "I smell sex and candy here", but frankly both of those would be preferable odors.
