Folks,

Dux:

I wholeheartedly agree that rubbing shoulders with the milling crowd and those un-washed multitudes takes a bit of the shine off Mother Nature. This is why I always bring my friend's pet skunk Putrid to such friendly gatherings. You might not be surprised at the instantly thinning effect little de-scented Putrid has on even the most crowded of public places. A mere swish of that beautiful, black and white tail and everyone suddenly remembers they need to be elsewhere.

Note to moi in case Putrid proves not to be de-scented:

I'm told that any brand bottled Ketchup works a treat in covering up skunk odor. Hmmmmm. I wonder how in the world you get the offending creature to drink it.....

We as eagerly await your safe return with photos as you look forward to your trip.
