Lunch Time

I stepped outside this morning to catch a breath of fresh Arkansas goodness only to find that the sweet aromas of honeysuckle, magnolia, and freshly mowed grass were not present. They had been replaced by "stink" - an overpowering malodorous gut-wrenching rot, decay, and souring. LR smells horrible today...really bad. I mean, something dropped a big one in central Arkansas. I thought it was just my neighborhood (such a thing has been known to happen); but, as I have no A/C in my car and must ride with windows down, I found that the "stink" had formed an ominous cloud of putridity over the city.

Therefore, I have decided to take my lunch in the office today rather than brave the foulness. I have confined myself to my office and my fifth cup of coffee which is doubling as a hazelnut potpourri. Arkansas' summertime smells have been invaded by something sinister...and the City better get it figured out by quitting time today.
