Tis the season...to wear a gas mask!
Okay, it officially has begun. The annual stink that is Monitor Sugar during sugar beet harvest. I wanted to barf on the way to my masters class tonight. So, to help all you people who read this that don't live in Bay City, Michigan - I will give you tips for surviving sugar beet season should you ever visit.
1. The obvious - find an alternative route. Even if it means going 10 miles out of your way, it is worth it to avoid the assault to your senses.
2. Become a master at driving with one hand while plugging your nose with the other and breathing thru your mouth.
3. Try to find a happy place and pretend that you don't smell it. (HA)
4. Carry air freshener with you in the car and spray it at any sign of the nasty stench.
5. Grin and bear it, this too shall pass!
Personally, I am in favor of the #1&2 suggestions. I will be seeking alternative routes to SVSU in the near future!

Yeah, I try to pretend not to notice it. It doesn't work very well, though. I may have to change my strategy

It's the one thing that Madonna and I agree upon--Bay City stinks this time of the year. There's no way around it.
(I had posted this comment once before, but I don't see it now. It was so "witty" that I decided to post it again for your enjoyment!)
