Today I drove a government vehicle up to where I was working...at lunch I was outside talking with a visitor who was loading up his bike to ride up to Linville Falls and out to the coast and was saying good-bye to his wife who'd been his car support for the last 6 or so days. Well, I opened up the door of the car to grab out my bag or something and he says "Hey, you really need to quit smoking. I'm a nurse."
I turned around and said "What. Are. You. Talking. About?"
And he said "I can smell it from here when you opened your car door."
"Aha, this is not my vehicle, just the one I'm supposed to drive on certain days, so it's from someone else." It made both of us feel much better when we got that cleared up because I was wondering why in the world he was accusing me of such a thing! I don't really notice it anymore, it is along the lines of a new car smell...I don't really like either.

A tiny bird flew into the visitor center today because we leave the door open on nice days. I saw it in there for a while, but then didn't see it for about 5 hours and I thought it'd left on its own. About 5 minutes before closing I was helping some visitors and one of them asked why a bird was in the building. He was awesome and was able to catch it in his hands and take all the dust off the bird's feet and feathers, I opened a window and he released it out and off it flew. I'm glad he made his presence known before I locked him inside for the night!
