I Don’t Have the Super-Sniffer: BC Edition

by Chris Dierkes on September 3, 2009

Here in Vancouver we have a lot of city skunks as they have adapted to garbage can/neighborhood living.  We also have a lot of folks who smoke weed in public.  Both exist in my current environs in large quantities.  Sometimes distinguishing the smell between the two (skunk spray and BC bud) is very difficult.  Like the current odor  wafting through my window. Probably ode du skunk.  But it occurs to me that possibly what’s going on is that the skunks are partaking of the herb and therefore the smells are co-evolving.  Maybe?

Hey, be thankful. Here in Ottawa we have skunks and some sewage issues.

…not to mention the combined stench of Harper, Ignatieff, Duceppe and Layton.

Fair enough.
