One of the best cures for an adrenaline rush is to do aomething very physical, a run, a work-out, scrub floors.
The smell is distinctive. There are companies who clean up for estates after body found incidents.
The problem with masking scents is that one tends to associate them with the incident ever after, best to choose something less favorite.

This sort of situation is shocking. It's also interesting. And no, I'm not a cold bitch, I'm just older.

In Flanders Fields.
The Vimy Memorial

One of my House lies near the Menin Gate.
The Second Battle of Ypres where the Canadians withstood 16 days of chlorine gas attacks.
There are 170 military cemeteries located in and around Ypres.

A smug thing.

I live in Canada.

Sigh.

I'm another relative, if they ever sort out the White-Fuller thing. Peregrine White, born as the ship dropped anchor in that lonely bay. Named Peregrine because he was a "stranger in a strange land". I feel the same, often.

2. SASE - for out of country writers, what is wrong with e-mail for acknowledgement of a submission and for a rejection?
