Senses

It's funny how your sense of smell is connected to your oldest and fondest of memories.

Take for instance the smell of stale gasoline and exhaust in the shed. 

It reminds me of my grandfather's garage.

Or Coppertone suntan lotion.

It evokes memories of playing outdoors, camp and going to the beach as a child.

Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it.

That beer would be another memory...
