It hits me like a ton of bricks, it's nauseating.

I probably travel as much as you do.. Maybe ~ 150K airline miles a year.. I don't notice the difference in smells that you claim.. Alas, it might be my NYC nose.

Maybe you're up in SF, but down here in SoCal, check out the traffic. 405 on a Friday north and southbound between LA and OC. 6 lanes + 1 HOV EACH WAY. Bumper to bumper for 70+ miles. True story, one Friday, it took me 7.5 hours to go 80 miles. No accidents, just volume. When I fly into LAX, I still see that dome of yellow/brown smog. You smell that?
