> After a string of dry days (a rarity this summer),
> this AM's stroll brought the smell of rain coming.
> Now I really have very little sense of smell anymore.
> I hardly even notice thruscent unless my eyes start to water
> but I can sure smell rain coming as well as sunshine sometimes.
> I used to think it might be all in my head.....some sort
> of mind trick caused by other clues that rain was incoming.
> But this summer there was an incident where the scent was
> soooo clear....that, despite clear skies and no other indications,
> we headed back to the dock.  Unfortunately we didn't quite make
> it in time (slooooow boat) <g> but the smell did give us a
> half hour head start.
