<sniff> <sniff> Smoke. Hmm. I wonder whether my neighbour is grilling in his back yard or something.
[A little later] <sniff> Uh, that's definitely the smell of a Baltimore rowhouse burning, added to what I was already smelling. Should I worry?
[Sirens wail past] Waitaminute, those stopped awfully far away. What's burning so huge that I can smell it from such a distance?
[After trotting upstairs to poke my head out the window] Oh, not visible -- so probably not huge, just brought to me by a really steady wind from however far away. Smells bad. Hope nobody's hurt.
