Something smells here soundside at Corolla Light. To be honest, it smells like sewage. That's kind of a drag when you've got all these decks just clamoring for us to sit on them.
This morning, I decided to try and find out what it is. My first guess was that it was just stagnant water on Currituck Sound. But, with all the wind, I didn't think that was it. My internet research seemed to confirm that it wasn't something on (or in) the Sound.
After spending 30 minutes doing some quick digging, here are the top 10 reasons I've come up with for why Corolla Light Soundside smells so bad.
# 10. Some of the people here on vacation apparently shower without using soap.
# 9. The body odor from all these runners and bikers is permeating the atmosphere.
# 8. Body wash doesn't really work.
# 7. The development needed something to cover up the fumes from the propane leak.
# 6. The foul odor is pumped in by the natives in a last gap effort to drive us tourists away for good.
# 5. It's the combination of sunscreen, sand, sweat, ice cream, and chlorine that coats the skin of every child here under age 7.
# 4. It's day five and I'm still on t-shirt #3. If everyone else is like me, that can't be good.
# 3. Everyone else forgot their mouthwash.
# 2. Old people smell. And, there are quite a few old people here.
# 1. We really are smelling sewage. Seriously.
This is where the magic happens.
