Default City Smell

Does anyone else notice a smell hovering over the city? Here's an article from when it happened last time. http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/...4-07afced6896f Maybe it's just me?

I find the part about Alberta Environment getting complaints funny.

Who takes the time to call up Alberta Environment to complain about funny smells?

I dunno maybe its just me.

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure it was just Karlsson stinking up the joint last night.

BAZINGA!

Sorry about that, turkey taco's on Wednesday just have me wrecked. The wife made me sleep on the deck so the kids didn't die from CO2 exposure methane explosion.

Wouldn't it be methane exposure, and maybe she made you sleep out on the deck to avoid exposure to an open flame.

I thought it smelled like Lethbridge. I went to university there--every once in a while that smell showed up, and it just freakin' stunk!

It is most likely Canola harvesting or processing.

I have been noticing this for a few weeks now. It used to be only at the Pagan Trail exit on deerfoot, but a few days ago I noticed a nasty smell in Beddington too.

The Flames have been stinking it up the last few days on a greater scale than previously thought.
