11 Smells That Are Slowly Disappearing
[Think you have a link that’s IMAO-worthy? Send it to harvolson@gmail.com. If I use your link, you will receive High Praise! (assuming you remember to put your name in the email)]
I remember all those things…>:[
Pipe smoke — heck, even cigarette smoke — are smells that are slowly disappearing.
Bowling alley shoes — heck, even bowling alleys — as well.
Real fur coats and hats. Fur-lined mittens. Furry earmuffs. Fur-lined bedtime slippers.
Electric toy train tracks, transformers, sparks, and their heated oil. Race cars and tracks, too.
I believe comic books and color Sunday Funnies in the newspapers had their own distinctive smell.
I’m glad they mentioned cap guns.
New daily topic: Smells Old People Remember
A few of mine (with age of experience):
* Magic of saltwater beach at low tide (Age: 3)
* Sweet ozone coming from 1940’s electric train motor/controller (Age: 4)
* Grandfather’s chicken coop (Age 3)
* Mom and Grandmother baking cinnamon rolls (Age: 0+)
I got a lot more, but I suppose this is boring.
Oh @2: You reminded my of my grandmother’s beaver coat! Damn that smelled good.
Not boring in the least
