Here's the science behind it-

What it also doesn't explain there is that many plant seeds are coated in an oil or ichor, which prevents them from germinating when the ground is dry, otherwise they would sprout and die. When it rains, this oil is washed away and mixes with chemicals in the soil to produce petrichor. And then it is safe for the seeds to grow!

I enjoy the 'before rain' smell
Is there something about it?

Pollution, I expect.

Evening, Mike.

Have you read Proust's 'In Search of Lost Time and Remembrance of Things Past'?

It's on my 'to read' list. But I don't know that that's saying much. The queue is ridiculously long. I'll probably be laid up this weekend so I should prioritize so I can knock some of them out.

It'll be quite a weekend for Proust.
About 4,000 pages, I think.
One of those books that you can appreciate is very clever and well crafted, but gosh, it's hard going.
More characters than 'Game of Thrones'!

HA. I expect we'll be weeding some out soon enough!

Speaking of the show where you can't go one episode where someone doesn't die...
@russian/sulcata/tortoise?? Seen the new season yet?

Did you read it in English or French?

I always wonder how well books are translated and whether there's something missing. I should start learning the French so I can go back and reread Dumas and Vernes as they were intended.
