wow...you had me so wrapped up in the moment, i nearly skipped the part about the bleachers.
yeah, some visual aspect associated with smell memory are very clear...like remembering a person. i wonder though if smell can help you remember things that are associated to more logic and processing or if it can only help you recall an experience. if i light a candle that smells like rosemary while i study and train myself a with a couple whiffs, will i remember what i felt like or the light in the room or the page i was on or will i actually remember what was on the page and how it relates to everything else i am learning.
