It’s Friday and there are 50 more days of winter to endure. Birthdays: Edward Abbey, Anton Chekhov, Thomas Paine, Oprah Winfrey. RIP Cloris Leachman and Cicely Tyson. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance by (Thierry) Mugler, if you have one.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.

...French senators unanimously passed a law to protect the "sensory heritage" of the French countryside, including its sounds and smells, France 24 reported via the Agence France Presse. That means sounds, including those from cow bells, grasshoppers, and even tractors doing their work in the early mornings, as well as the smells they may generate, won't be able to be challenged in the courts. "These sounds and smells are now part of the common heritage of the nation," the bill stated.
