    Gasoline reminds me of the fluid we used for lighting barbeque coals.

    Bleach always reminds me of the Chlorine smell in the Makowskys Pool house.

    The Bay Ridge sewer treatment plant reminds me of makowsky's centerfield , I'm surprised all you outfielders are still breathing. The fans probably thought you guys ran in to the infield so fast after innings because you were athletic. Oh Robbie that english leather drove me crazy too.

    The musty smell of that overgrown & abused antique chair in the Casino. I still have scars from it's inner springs.

    Or,

    The smell of a fresh peeled stick from a weeping willow tree .

    Or,

    The smell of calomine lotion being spread on my poison ivy.

    The smell of a brand new "Pensie Pinkie"

    That unmistakeable smell of Makowskys after it rained. I loved that.
    I then loved to walk on the wet grass and watch it stick to my sneakers. Am I wierd or what?

    Why did Nona mention Skunk. My female Akita Sheba as a puppy got skunked when I lived in Somerset NJ and I had to get a big tub and a lot of Tomato Juice and wash it out of her. I don't disgust easily, so when it happened less then a week later I didn't kill her but washed her again, and outside of an occassional bloody mary, have lost my test for it.
    Mitch, I loved walking in the wet grass but barefooted why ruin my sneakers

    Good thing the pool contained mega chlorine . I think that litmus/test kit the lifeguards used was just a PR stunt for the Colony. Yo Kup,
    did you use it?

    Rob...

    Yeah right! We all knew it was just window dressing.

    Coppertone & Zinc Oxide were the most important ingredients for lifeguards.

    Cmon folks , 1000s of kids swim in lakes containing who knows what . We were lucky to have a dirty over-shocked pool . Hey our parents took us to the Colony to get out of the 'City'. have yo ever been to a city public pool? It's like cattle being cooled down so they don't stampede. Or what of the suburbians? How many times can you go to the beach club each week? those public concrete slabs surrounding a hole in the ground , a pool with mothers letting their babies pee at will (stay away from the shallow section and keep your mouth closed),Sorry, I'll take our dirty pool anytime.

    I remember that murky summer, I went through 2 sets of goggles and nose plugs . LOL

    That pool was and still is the greatest. I'm a beach bum and when I go to public pools they pale in comparison to Makowsky's. Thank god we over chlorinated it ,it's not like there were bathrooms next to it. At the reunion ,my time in the pool with Jodi and Andy was the best part of the trip!

    Nona , Of course, light as a feather,
    I was reminded how lucky we were.

    When Ellen & I took our sons to the Colony to visit they hated it , All we heard was "too many" bugs, NO TV, No AC...blah , blah. They could'nt believe this is what we all raved over for years. Well we were totaly insulted and did'nt speak to them the whole trip home.
    AAH! the kids today!, what do they know?

    The smell of the best onion rolls & kaiser rolls I've ever had.

    The smell of Prell shampoo in our blues shower stall.

    The smell of those portable heaters we used on those miserable days. (amazing no one ever burnt down a bungalow)

    Rob you're wrong!!

    Someone DID burn down a bungalow. It was the big yellow one that my family used to rent in the later years.

    Right down to the ground. It was amazing that no one was killed.

    Talk about a smell. Milton built a new one on the old foundation.

    The smell of white glue and those darn popsicle sticks. I'm still peeling glitter off my fingers.

    Speaking of arts and crafts, you really knew you were going "steady" when you got a copper enamel necklace. It made lanyard look like kid stuff.
