Certain Smells

[Mikey]

A couple of years ago I was visiting Woods Hole up in Cape Cod.
The tour bus was clearly an old converted school bus.
When I got on and the driver pulled out......
The smell of that diesel bus engine really took me back.
Aint no smell like a school bus engine

I have been buying the reissued Marx Johnny West gear sets from the "Friends of Johnny" group. Unlike the Marx re-issues of a few years ago, or the stuff put out by Toy Trackerz, these kits have that incredible plastic smell unique to the original old Johnny West vinyl accessories. Every time I get a whiff of that heavenly scent it takes me back to Christmas ' long ago, when a Johnny West toy under the tree was an absolute certainty.

The smell of new carpets always seems quite comforting, my Dad used to work in a carpet store and used to take me to work with him when I was about 3 years old, and I would fall asleep on top of a mountain of carpets. Also the smell of that plastic type chewing gum that used to shatter and splinter that came with old trading cards, that always takes me back on a nostalgia trip.

Do certain smells take you back in time, to a certain place in your life that you remember at an instant when you smell whatever it is you are smelling, Ha
