Man there are some funky smells around here. The sewage treatment facility isn't far from my dorm, but thankfully we don't get wind of it too often. However, the plant is also right next to the vehicle entrance gate where we wait for visitors that need escorts. Let me tell you, hanging out at that gate for an hour or so isn't my favorite way to spend an evening. I feel bad for the Macedonian guards who have to spend a whole lot more time there than I do.
But even apart from that, I've smelled smells out here that I've never smelled before. Smoke is relatively common of course, but I don't even have words to describe some of the other scents of Kabul. Sometimes there's sort of a cabbage-ish scent... ok, I'll stop there to spare you any sympathetic olifactory trauma.
Let's just say I'm really looking forward to getting back to the states, driving into the Adirondacks, and just breathing as deeply as I can.

...and the Adirondacks and all your loved ones are awaiting your return! I appreciate this region more and more all the time.
Hey....can I comment? Maybe I can. Perhaps we should send you some of those medical masks ~ think folks would look at you weird if you wore one of those around everyday?
