This morning there was a skunk in the road who quickly took himself off to the ditch opposite the res and beyond. Almost any of us who grew up in small towns and suburbs have a story or "phew" about skunks. This sensory experience has no one that I've heard of rushing to re-create it for today's children of the city. Understandable, of course, but also sad that in a generation or two we will likely have bred the smell of skunk out of American children, altogether.
