smell you later.

For a state that is so teeming with life, it sure does smell like death!

While I was driving the swampy highways and byways of Mississippi I couldn't help but notice a pungent odor.  It occurs after a rainfall.  The sun is shining.  The air is a haze of humidity and swamp gas.  How can I describe this smell?  The inside of a skunk's butthole?  Rotting crab flesh?  Sulfuric gas and cigarette smoke?

I'm kind of thinking I could be a real asset to the Mississippi Tourism board.
