By the...sea?

Oddly, the air today has a seaside smell—not in a particularly good way, I guess; the way it smells when a lot of seaweed has washed up on the beach, an edge of salt with a muddy undertone of vegetable decay. Probably the extreme humidity is carrying the smell from the Delaware River, which is about half a mile away. And probably the cause of the smell isn't anything as wholesome as seaweed—there's gotta be at least some sewage out there—but I did have some pleasant beachy associations on my walk to lunch.



(When I left the office, it wasn't raining, so I didn't bring my umbrella; when I left the store, it was raining. Feh. But I didn't get too wet, just annoyingly dampened.)
