Re: shopping

My Burkwood vibe is in full bloom and, to me, is the most fragrant vibe I
know and love.  V. carleisii is nothing next to it.  However, with the
screaming fragrance of all these lilacs, I have to actually stick my nose in
the burkwood to decipher its perfume.  Seriously, I was watching tv last
night with windows open and the lilacs were overpowering.
