It’s a Party in America . . . Tax Refunds Arrived!

Our federal tax refund arrived! Whoo-hoo! We get back money which was ours all along, but was on loan to the government, interest-free . . . hey, suddenly this deal doesn’t sound so great after all . . . .

Amazing Discovery! Gasoline Smells Like . . . .

duh

In this source, http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp72-c3.pdf, on p. 109, the CDC oh-so-helpfully describes the odor of gasoline as a “gasoline odor.” Yes, really.

Here’s a screenshot (I added the red ellipses):

gasoline smells like gasoline

Now I have a headache.
