Today around 1:30PM or so my fellow agents and I started to smell a rather bad smell in the air around our office on the west side of Aurora. The scent was something between rotten garbage and bad cheese. In fact, for those of you that have gone fishing and used catfish cheese bait, it smells exactly like that. At first we thought it was emanating from one of the fast food places – maybe someone got a bad batch of grease or something, but when I got home (a couple miles away from the office) I could still smell it. That means either:

1. I was the source of the smell and brought it home with me – I feel doubtful about this because I do, in fact, shower quite regularly averaging slightly better than 1 per day over the course of a year. Also because this smell is almost otherworldly bad and permeates the air outside but not inside my home.

or

2. the source of this smell has something to do with the city. Perhaps something was spilled or some type of gas was released. It also could be the type of chemicals they’re now salting the streets with. Whatever it is, I would be curious to find out the source. It’s definitely making the outdoors uncomfortable. For those of you in town looking at houses, I do apologize for our city – it normally doesn’t smell this way.
