Well, it’s spring again here, which mean the lovely aroma that fills the air is a lot like dead fish trees. That’s right, those smelly things are right on schedule this year, filling the breezes with some nasty fishy funk. Also, don’t park your car under one of these things, as they are quite prone to simply split apart with age and icy weather. Two in my apartment complex split apart like that this year. So, besides the fact that they smell horrible, they are also dangerous. Wheee. Though, the cherry trees are blooming now too, and they smell great. They even look pretty too. I put a few cherry blossom shots up on Fotolog this week., and a few more to come. Everything is beginning to look so pretty! Now, if the flying stingy things would just all die, I’d be okay.

In 2004 it smelled like dead fish. In 2003 it did too! My high school had a row of about 8-10 of these things all lined up out front. As soon as you got off the bus, BAM! Dead fish smell.

The wasp death traps will have to go out today. Views(1) [...]
