It most definitely was not my vehicle. My wife and I both smelled it soon as we opened the front door to leave today. We live in an apartment and my truck is on the other side of the parking lot. Also, people who passed through Whitefield to get to the same place I work said they smelled it on the way through as well.

you should join one of those hiking facebook groups for 4000 footers. Everyone there is usually very happy to provide beta. If you're staying below treeline, you should be fine hiking moosilauke in most weather conditions. Above treeline at moosilauke can get as gnarly as washington or the franconia ridge.

Are there any chemical factories near you? I've had times in my life driving around when there's a smell like that and I'm pretty sure it's some factory cleaning out whatever shit they need to burn off. (Probably illegally).

They might be timing it so everyone thinks its the ohio plume.

Benzene is sweet: https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/poison/benzene-poisoning

Hydrogen Sulfide is another: https://doh.wa.gov/community-and-environment/contaminants/hydrogen-sulfide

Another article was about a coolant leak from a car. That can smell sweet. It could have been you were behind someone who had coolant on their engine, or your car was doing it (although you'd probably notice when you stopped).

Sorry I don't have links at my fingertips ready to go. It's human nature. If you allow a person back into society then he has the opportunity to live like everyone else. If you banish him, then he goes to the criminal subculture. If you treat him differently, then every strike against him is motivation to leave regular society.

You can say "we want him to reform" all day long. If you don't let him reintegrate, then good luck with that.

I think anyone not imprisoned or on parole should have full rights. Gun rights, voting rights, all of it. However I can see in certain cases a lifetime restriction of certain rights being part of the sentence or a condition of release. It should be taken on a case by case basis rather than a policy matter of banning all convicts indiscriminately. Simply, let the punishment fit the crime.

interesting. So maybe not the toxic cloud. Whitefield is in a valley surrounded by mountains. Wondering if they just acted like a trap and the chemicals have begun to sink down and accumulate enough to produce a smell. We're supposed to get some rain. Wonder if it's worth collecting some of it and testing PH.
