This weeks theme is Smelly
As cute as these kittens are, sitting in their matching boots, I can’t help, but imagine that those boots are probably pretty smelly.

Cabbies shape up in Beijing or get banned
Did you know that new regulations came into effect in Beijing China that will affect cab drivers? Apparently drivers whose cabs are smelly will be suspended for two days while they undergo “rectification and reform” guidance.
The city is trying to improve it’s image before next years Olympics. Cabbies can be banned for such things as spitting or smoking, wearing big earrings, outrageous dress styles or radical hairstyles.
“Many drivers pay no attention to appearances. Their mouths stink of garlic and their bodies smell, making the whole cab foul. It creates a bad impression for the taxi industry,” Yao Kuo, head of the transportation management office, was quoted as saying.
“As a service industry, taxis have to think about appearances. So from now on, dying hair a bright red or yellow and making weird hairdos is banned,” Yao said. Shi Xiangpeng, a top political adviser, complained bitterly about the odor of Beijing’s taxis. “Sometimes I could smell an unbearable stink once I got into the cab,” he was quoted by Xinhua news agency as saying.

Pigeon Dilemma
CLOVIS, N.M. — Employees at the Curry County courthouse are crying fowl over a stench that has permeated the building since recent rains mixed with pigeon droppings on the roof and dripped into offices.
County Maintenance Supervisor Lee Delk said the ceiling seeped because a mud-like substance — created when water blended with droppings — clogged drains and leaked into the building through fallen ceiling tiles.
“It was nasty,” Delk said. “We cleaned up about a gallon, but it smelled like a ton and a half.”
Employees opened windows and used air-freshener sprays. Each office is equipped with an air purifier.
Delk said about 50 pigeons live on the courthouse rooftop. Many residents enjoy feeding the birds, so the county has tried to deal with the birds humanely.
“We have used nontoxic chemical spray and hired an individual to do live trapping,” Delk said. “But they keep coming back.”
Juan Gonzales of Clovis said he would hate to see a pigeon-free downtown. A retiree, he visits Main Street a few times each month, bread bag in hand, to feed the birds on the sidewalks.
“They need somewhere to live, and I like to watch them eat and fly,” Gonzales said.
County officials plan to construct a modified rubber roof identical to one on the Curry County Juvenile Detention Center. Delk said for some reason, the pigeons won’t nest there.
“It’s all in a day’s work,” he said. “We deal in poo every day.”
