63 DAY 4: Black smoke signals that the College of Mullahs has not reached a decision on the new Ayatollah today. Maybe tomorrow (Israel bombed and killed all 88 Islamic clerics as they were meeting to select a new leader). I love the smell of cordite in the morning...

so what is it we are smelling, like when fireworks go off?
Whatever the Chinese use, I suppose. Low grade black powder?
Just looked it up: Chinese fireworks traditionally consist of a mixture of potassium nitrate (saltpeter), sulfur, and charcoal (black powder/gunpowder).
fireworks: I love the booming of the earth and the odor and the brilliant colors in the sky
I get the same smell when I go to an indoor gun range.
nice isn't it?
