If you couldn't smell the outer marker when approaching Galveston

commented about the smelly air.

I, too, lived in League City (in fact, I was a volunteer paramedic
there for over a decade), and nobody commented on it in my
presence.

Really? We even had a term for it - we called it "the smell of
money" whenever the wind blew from the north. Your sense of smell
must be remarkably poor.

Maybe it was a virtual league city, existing solely in a computer....


Jay loves the smell of refineries in the morning. Smells like
victory!!


I used to have to drive past one daily. Ech! Smells like ****.
