It Stinks!

Our city has this problem. Every so often there will waft an overwhelming, disgusting smell throughout pretty much the entire city - I guess depending on how the wind blows. We've never been able to tell where exactly it was coming from but we finally figured that maybe it was coming from a nearby factory that cranked production up at night (the smell mostly seems to arise after dark). However the once-in-a-blue-moon time that I watched the local news a few weeks ago, I found out that the city council didn't even know where it was coming from. They actually commissioned a committee to sniff it out (;-) :-P). The committee's findings were that it was coming from the city lagoon (I didn't even know there was a city lagoon!). It has something to do with certain kinds of bacteria etc interacting with other kinds of bacteria etc. Now they are trying to treat the water - with who knows what! - to get rid of the smell.
Anyway, I said all that to say this: Last night Peter and I stopped off at Ed and Jessica's for a few minutes. As we were getting out of the car, Aaron came bounding out onto the front porch waving one hand and holding his nose with the other. "It stinks out here but I'm glad you're here!" he called. Little Levi came tramping out after him, smiling and yelling something that sounded very much like a two-year-old's version of "It stinks!!!" at the top of his voice while waving his own little hand.
