My wife, and I left Long Beach in 1987 after a lifetime to that point in that city.

The stink was probably associated with Long Beach politics somehow. It was that bad there.

Long Beach today is like what’s left of a mackerel after the sharks feast. Just a skeleton of what it had been in the 1950’s. Downtown has been built, and rebuilt by ever developer/realtor that ends up in City Council over the many years. Long Beach is where I learned what BS was.

Something similar to this happened to me, Ben, the last time I braved Walmart—a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

I turned my cart into into sporting goods/camping to look for some stuff for my `End of the World As We Know It’ bags.

Some fat b*****d in an electric cart was just leaving, and he had crop-dusted the entire aisle!
I suspected something as I straightened out the cart, but it was eye-watering pungent by the middle of the aisle.

So it was something like the swimmer who got halfway across the English channel then cramped; or like the difference between ham and eggs: I was committed. I dread going back to Walfart tomorrow for something essential.

On a flight from Nadi, Fiji to LAX 15 months ago, I sat next to an Indian couple that smelled worse than any humans I had ever smelled before. It was over 11 hours of revulsion. I used a hoodie like a gas mask for much of the flight.

Wow. That's a good one, but my favorite headline is "B-52 Found On The Moon!"

So, according to the lead sentence, five passengers were somehow transported to the hospital before the plane landed?
