By proxy, I now know what rotting human flesh smells like, and I am sick of it. First, let me qualify that statement. I figure that since humans are animals, and we are all made of the same stuff when we rot we all smell the same. I have had a lot of time to think about this, considering I have seen, and smelled, more road kill than ever before in my life. The worst is when you are climbing an incredibly steep hill, going no more than four or five miles an hour, and you pass something rotting. Actually you smell it before you pass it.
I counted one day. I haven't done that since because it is too sickening. But the body count was twelve:
2 snakes
2 medium sized birds
2 turtles
1 possum
1 deer (that was sitting up and looking at me--minus the eyes)
4 UDAs (unidentified dead animal)
If I never see anything dead again I sill be ok with that.
