As our paper folks would say Albert, "that's just the smell of
money" ... either that, or "what smell?" ... since they've
already used up their last olfactory neuron. I don't know that
I've made the same "olfactory connection" that you have, but
I'll pass the info along.

Thanks for the reply.

No such experience per se, but I have noticed an olfactory
association.
I've smelled the same offensive odor in three places:

1) Driving past a paper mill,

2) In locations where radium-bearing materials have been in
storage for a very long time, and

3) At the mineral-water wells in Saratoga Spa State (NY)
Park, which emit water containing minute amounts of radium,
along with other minerals.

If I were to just "think with my nose", I'd have to believe
there's a connection.
