The wonderful world of our olfactory senses

So I was driving home this evening from a focus group, and I realized something; odors can be sneaky. Right now you are probably thinking that it's time to find something else to read, but hear me out: on the way up the 5 I had this beautiful scentsation assault my senses - cucumber manure. But this wasn't your usual, run-of-the-mill smelling everything at the same time. Noooo, it started out with a delightfully-fresh scent of cucumber, drifting on the evening breeze. This, of course, encouraged me to breathe in deeply, at which point the heavy aroma of the fresh manure assaulted my senses and made my nostrils attempt to implode. In short, smells are getting sneaky, and it's time to fight back. How we can achieve that I do not know, but I know that we will, some day.
Oh, and I happened to meet someone who works for the new children's museum down in San Diego, and we are looking at collaborating on a possible project for the future.
