What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
Yeah Nebraska takes the cake there. That was the worst smell I have ever experienced and I have driven past farms in Texas that were almost as big but didn't smell like that, so I don't know what is going on there.
ReplyDeleteThat was heinous.
DeleteI went to college in Greeley, Colorado. Meat packing is a huge industry there, and back then the feedlots were practically in city limits. Plus some of the processing itself is a smelly business. It wasn't bad all the time, but depending on the wind and what they were processing there were days when "the smell of money" was overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteThe smell of money, indeed!
DeleteI went to the Coors plant in Golden Colorado when I was 18 or 19 and the smell of the hops and all they do there was SOOOOOOO bad. To this day if I smell anything remotely like that, I get sick to my stomach. Oddly, cereal places and the Nestle place out here have a similar smell, just not as strong.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I can't imagine! Sounds like I don't want to anyway!
