A memorable odour
Some odours are unforgettable. Without referencing the best and worst ends of the scale, there are scents that the brain “knows”. (How do scents and odours differ? Must look this one up) Happened to purchase a small jar of one such memory, over at the pharmacy, and I confirm that the company hasn’t changed their secret formula in my lifetime.
Vicks Vaporub. Even the jar stands out, and cries for inclusion in the next seeding of a sea glass patch. Apparently the magic ingredient is either camphor or eucalyptus oil. Since I have no reference point to say which is which, let’s just go with the blend. And if you need something to get the Eustachian tube clear and ready for whatever it does (beyond providing discomfort during a head cold) this should be your goto product. Old school!
I actually went to town today. First time in ages. A chance to do some shopping therapy (groceries can be satisfying). Check out the displays. Make important decisions as to which steak might taste better, a hot pan later. Important things. I also ran into (figuratively, not literally) some close family members, so this day goes down as a double-success.
And that about summarizes an ordinary day. I did purchase some more LED bulbs, bright ones, to bring the garage interior lighting up from dim to dazzling. I hope. The actual “climb the ladder and switch the glass” won’t happen until later this week, because I was busy… had to go shopping. This is spiraling out of control, so I’m going to plant the final period and then post.
