Subject:      At least it ain't a bad smell

Now that things are above freezing here in our neck of the woods, I opened
up my Westy after it had been sitting for a couple weeks in the below-zero
(F) weather we've been having. I thought I had winterized it by draining
the sink and removing any bottles of stuff that might freeze and break.
But I overlooked the nearly-full bottle of Liquid Smoke in the "spice
rack," and found that it had shattered.

Everything that was in the rack with the bottle is rinseable, except for
this box of #2 coffee filters -- those won't be very useful for anything,
certainly not coffee!

The odor permeates the vehicle, I don't know whether I can clean all the
residue out because much of the fluid formerly in the bottle has done
missing, dribbled away somewhere hidden. So the van will probably smell
that way forever.

But it's not a bad smell.
