Joe Butler: I used to hate cow/stockyard smell, but after living in Ellensburg, I don't notice it much anymore. And the bile/vomit smell luckily doesn't seem to bug me like it does others. If you've ever wondered what that distinct smell is, it's butyric acid, which also shows up in Parmesan cheese. Although too much Parmesan on food can sometimes confuse my nose, which tells my brain, 'you're eating throw-up, dude, what the heck?' and cause a loss of appetite anyway.

Question: Have you ever lived in a town that smelled? What caused the smell? How did you handle it?
