    I’m surprised you didn’t add anything to make the coffee umm…even stronger.

    Sorry to hear, man.

      Renauda, your initial post was outstanding, like the beginning of a short story very well written!
      As for the skunk, look at the bright side. I'm sure the skunk had no friends or relatives.

        The comedy has evolved into a full blown farce. It appears that I have lost my sense of smell for skunk odour. My spouse, on the other hand, senses the odour everywhere and on everything inside the house and within a fifty foot radius of our property. At the same time however there is a consensus that the dog now has only a very faint odour of skunk, not enough that he should not have his usual house privileges.

        Elbows up!

          I read somewhere (so it has to be true) that exposure to a smell overtime decreases your ability to smell it. It was something (who knows) like every 30 minutes you smell it 50% less or something. Clearly this is the most precise comment I've ever made. The point is the same...

          BTW I don't mind the smell of a distant skunk. Maybe I'm weird. Also maybe I'm glad they've always been distant.

            My guess is she will be smelling it for quite a while. Went through this with a dead raccoon in our attic. She smelled it for months where I could only detect a faint oror for a couple days. I was in North Carolina when it really stank so it's not a matter of going nose blind.

              Exactly. Like passing roadkill and wondering what it was, and then the smell leaves no doubt.

                How’s the odour situation?

                    I think the house and patio area smell like a grow op.
