Petty Music Bitchery

One of my fondest memories was when I was in my college days, my then GF and I were visiting some friends of hers out on Hurricane Island which houses an Outward Bound program.  We spent the night in this tiny cabin that was just a few feet from this cliff overlooking the Atlantic.  Having the crashing waves as a sonic backdrop while drifting off to sleep....

Maybe it's because I've spent many years living right next to the ocean but I've not yet heard any kind of electronic recreation of ocean waves that comes remotely close to sounding like the real McCoy. 

when you don't live close to the ocean but you love the sound, then you start looking for substitutes.

Theres this particular memory of a cabin in undergrad, and whenever I can consciously recall or actually smell ceder wood, I flashback so strongly that its like I'm actually there. One of the most relaxing memories of my life.

Speaking of smells, the ocean is particularily smelly this morning.  And my office is a good 10 miles away from it.

dead fish?

No, it's just the usual salty, briney smell of the ocean except very pronounced.  The winds must be coming from the South.

I like that smell.
