My wife and I make soy candles.
One day I had been ask if we had "SKUNK FRAGRANCE?"

I told them NO, not something I think we would make .... but then I just had to ask ... WHY would you even what "skunk fragrance?"

THE ANSWER: To light for unwanted guests who won't leave.

I'm fine as the floods didn't impact where I am.

Those subway floods were mostly in Manhattan stations and I didn't take the train that day. The trains were delayed the next day, but that's about it.
