Certain Smells

[babycyclops]

The smell of blossoming jasmine always takes me back to when I was eight years old to an excellent birthday.

The smell of 2-stroke lawn mower fuel reminds me of when I used to use the stuff to wash paint off my brushes when I built model kits as a kid.

"Your before-mention of chlorine pool water in the air on a hot day takes me back to the 60s and 70s at Hayward Plunge swimming pool...my family used to go there on many Saturdays (awesome times)...so every time I smell that swimming pool chlorine...I'm right back there in time."

I hear you on that! Just this summer I was at my complex pool and someone brought in popcorn and the smell of Popcorn and Chlorine instantly took me back to the late 70's early 80's at Gunpowder Swim Club in Maryland when I was a kid. We went there every summer from 77-88. When I smelled that I almost instantly shed a tear to cause I have not smelled that in a least 25 or so years. Reminded me of how fun summers were as a kid in the late 70's early 80's.

I should also mention my comic books that Ive held on to forever have a smell that takes me back in time. Some aren't that rare or valuable but their sendimental value to me is priceless.

My KISS cards smell EXACTLY the same as they did the day I bought them from our Ice Cream man in 79! I have had them in a plastic container since so the smell upholds!
