[incomplete june or july jottings]

Title: Boys of Summer or Maybe Mens Fragrance

After getting off (exiting?) the 15 trolley and heading towards the Fishtown Library this past Thurs., I suddenly smelled grease or fried foods. It was probably from (name of restaurant) or else some area resident was making onion rings.

Thurs. afternoon (1ish pm) was relatively pleasant, around low-mid 80's and the good smell/"odor" got me to thinking about cologne... fried onion-ring cologne to be precise. Don't know whether it would appeal to females but I think guys would really like it.
