Hi,

Ask any farmer...  The smell of manure is the smell of money.

It is all perspective.

I lived on an island connected to the coast via a causeway and a bridge.   
At low tide the smell of swamp gas was high on a hot summer day.  I  
considered it the smell of home, and smelling meant I was almost there.

Later,
Tom
