Public Napping?

Public naps? 

      These are not the homeless that are grabbing a nap  

in a safe place, but people who are exhausted and just


drop… 

  At MOMA in NYC last year... this is a soft place to rest.

The soft purring/snore is lovely.

Travel with family...

In the mid 1960's we crossed the USA and visited all sorts of attractions etc... Here is a classic photo of my family, my dad in the middle and my sister and I on both sides of him... in the background brightly washed out is the Grand Canyon. 

I may have been frowning because of the bright light or envious of the unknown girl with her binoculars.

Here is another photo on that same day with mom.

We have a wonderful life.

Smells in my Elevator

Dear Reader...
     I have had a few elevator adventures and I am saving those up for another post... but lately I have been making note of the strange and wonderful smells I have experienced in my elevator.  First you should know that I live on the 20th floor and the elevator has a window/glass wall that looks over the city so I get a wonderful view of the street and all kinds of life going on there.  As soon as I moved here last fall, I realized I would be spending a lot of time going up and down to my car, to the street, to the mail box, and other errands.  I began to notice that when there was a smell in the elevator I had plenty of time to think about what it was... at one of my first discerning moments I decided I had to take notes... It was a strange mixture of ...

• Cheetos and wet stinky dog

     I visualized a guy with a bag of Cheetos who had just walked his dog out in the rain.

The list continues for several more rides, I smell...

• Tacos
• Sweaty workout someone
• Paint
• Strong perfume - Bad!

    All fairly easy to understand why they would be in an elevator... then this one.

• A sour Ginger smell

     I was visualizing someone was carrying some kind of sushi, with ginger on it...but somehow it was rotten.

Next came these...

• Rotten Orange
• Beer
• Compost
• Oddly metallic

     Then my state legalized the private use of small amounts of Marijuana... so

• Strong smell of Pot! I tried not to second hand smoke any!

Finally I got some fairly nice smells...

• Flowers
• Cheeseburgers
• Nail Polish remover
• Perfume - good!

Now I am paying attention and taking notes quite often.  Here comes...

• Gas
• Yeast - like a bagel
• Super stinky tennis shoes.

     This brings me up to today... I may continue my list or perhaps realise this is a silly exercise that shows how small my brain actually is, in any case, I do wonder what goes on in the cubicle apartment, life of my fellow renters that so many smells get out to the elevator and beyond.
