<tr><td><strong>Quote</strong> </td></tr><tr><td><br /><br />October 28, 2005<br />Good Smell Perplexes New Yorkers<br />By KAREEM FAHIM<br /><br />An
unseen, sweet-smelling cloud drifted through parts of Manhattan last
night. Arturo Padilla walked through it and declared that it was
awesome.<br /><br />&quot;It's like maple syrup. With Eggos. Or pancakes,&quot; he said. &quot;It's pleasant.&quot;<br /><br />The
odor had followed Mr. Padilla and his friend along their walk in Lower
Manhattan, from a dormitory on Fulton Street, to Pace University on
Spruce Street, and back down again, to where they stood now, near a
Dunkin' Donuts. Maybe it was from there, he said. But it wasn't.<br /><br />Mr.
Padilla was not alone. Reports of the syrupy cloud poured in from
across Manhattan after 9 p.m. Some feared that it was something
sinister.<br /><br />There were so many calls that the city's Office of
Emergency Management coordinated efforts with the Police and Fire
Departments, the Coast Guard and the City Department of Environmental
Protection to look into it.<br /><br />By 11 p. m., the search had turned
up nothing harmful, according to tests of the air. Reports continued to
come in from as far north as 112th Street shortly before midnight. In
Lower Manhattan, where the smell had begun to fade, it was back,
stronger than before, by 1 a.m.<br /><br />&quot;We are continuing to sample the
air throughout the affected area to make sure there's nothing
hazardous,&quot; said Jarrod Bernstein, an emergency management spokesman.
&quot;What the actual cause of the smell is, we really don't know.&quot;<br /><br />There
were conflicting accounts as to its nature. A police officer who had
thrown out her French vanilla coffee earlier compared it to that. Two
diplomats from the Netherlands disagreed, politely. Rieneke Buisman
said it smelled like roasted peanuts. Her friend Joris Geeven said it
reminded him of a Dutch cake called peperkoek, though he could not
describe that smell.</td></tr>

<p>This reminds me of when I used to drive on the New Jersey Turnpike everyday.&nbsp; You always get some funky smells when you drive through the industrial corridor between exits 16 and 11.&nbsp; But everyday when I drove between exits 15 and 14, by the airport, I would smell the sweetest most delicious smell.&nbsp; It smelled just like butterscotch.&nbsp; </p><p>I would catch myself taking deep breaths until I stopped to think:&nbsp; I don't think that there are any butterscotch factories in Newark.&nbsp; All you can see from the turnpike are junkyards, landfills and abandoned warehouses.&nbsp;It had to be some chemical that smells similar to butterscotch when it dissipates in the air.&nbsp; Now I just hold my breath when driving through there, though who knows what other odorless fumes I'm breathing in at other parts.&nbsp; I'm probably growing a tumor on my lungs as I sit here.&nbsp; But damn that butterscotch smell was tasty.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Who knows what's in those good smell clouds when they come
along?&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the 21st century, we spray openly for West
Nile, who knows what the government is secretly embedding in delicious
pastry and sugary scents and planting around the Tri-State Area. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It's
a dangerous time, folks.&nbsp; We got good smells out there on the
streets of New York.&nbsp; A change gon come for that creasol smell on
the subway tracks, for the piss smell on the platforms, the smell of
the city buses and garbage trucks, the smell of turtles and various
dead aquatic life in Chinatown, BYE BYE!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
