do you ever wonder about the sense of smell? i often wonder about how we know the smell of someone...or the smell of someone's house. i've heard before that the sense of smell is the most powerful of all of the others and that it triggers our memory. the way other people's houses smell often sticks in our brain. i walked into an antique shop the other day and it reminded me of the way my aunt faye's cellar smelled. have you ever noticed how you can't seem to pick up your own scent though. i have no idea what my "smell" is. when i walk into our apt. i really don't smell anything...but when i walk into other's houses, i can pick up right away their familiar "smell."
