Plan B Forum

I believe I may have mentioned before that while we technically live in a city, we live right near a park, in a very suburban residential part of that city, and that occasionally we get a whiff of skunk...

Well, at the moment, we're getting more than a whiff...

Somebody must have hit one right out on the street in front of our house...

The weather has been very pleasant the last few days, and we've had all the windows open....

But now it's time to break out the gas masks and seal the windows with duct tape....

P-U!

Try being in the car that hit that skunk, and see how strong it smells, and how long (and how many carwashes) it takes to get rid of the smell.

I was tempted to breathe through a handkerchief soaked with my own urine, much like WWI soldiers did to protect themselves during gas attacks.

That may be our next move...

If you don't mind the odour, vinegar neutralizes a lot of smells and might do some good. I fill a spray bottle and spray draperies, uphostry, carpets, etc., I like it a lot more than that Febreeze shit.

This is like, I dunno, stoopid skunk season, when they jump out in front of cars, and other insane behaviors. While, I'm supposed to save animals at any opportunity[as per the owl authorization], I can't help polecats who insist on becoming roadkill.

It happens.
