Ocean

It smells like the ocean on the mall's parking garage today.  I think it's because all of the snow is melting and the salt that maintenance put down is sort if dissolving and creating an inland seabreeze. It made me smile.

I remember when I used to walk my neighbor's dog and he would sniff at random spots on the ground.  When it snowed, though, everything was made clear.  Suddenly, his nose would be following the tracks of small animals and other dogs! He would sniff at the yellow snow that otherwise would just be normal-looking grass.  It was an epiphany.

I could see with my eyes what he saw with his nose.

My friend can swim a 32-minute mile. She is superwoman.  I am friends with with superwoman.

That is all.
