Last night I kept thinking I smelled syrup. This was odd because
- I don’t own syrup
- I haven’t eaten anything with syrup in weeks
It was fleeting. I only smelled it briefly and sporadically. But I mentioned it to my girlfriend on the phone with her last night, so I’m not making this up.
My friend sends out this article today, talking about how lower Manhattan all the way up to the Upper West Side, residents were calling the DEP complaining of a sweet smelling maple syrupy aroma. I live in Brooklyn though.
I can think of a million things worse than syrup to smell, like almonds, but if there’s no syrup around, it’s pretty damn vexing.
So what happened? Syrup tanker sank in the Hudson? Guinness record-breaking giant pancake? The rapture? What?!
wow-how odd. that doesnt explain my apt funk though.
