Compared to humans, much of a four legger's brain is devoted to nasal memory (related to their sensory input — a nose close to the ground). A dog can identify whether pairs of humans are identical twins or not by scent alone.
Their memories, thoughts and reveries may be rich and difficult for us to fully understand.
“The past still lives in us …[it] has made us what we are and is remaking us every moment! … An hour is not merely an hour! … It is a vase filled with perfumes, sounds, places and climates! So we hold within us a treasure of impressions, clustered in small knots, each with a flavor of its own, formed from our own experiences, that become certain moments of our past.”
— Marcel Proust, À la recherche du temps perdu
Some tidbits from a DARPA “artificial nose” researcher that I met at the IBM Institute on Cognitive Computing: Compared to humans, the dog has a much larger olfactory epithelium (the sensory receptor sheet) with many-fold more receptors. Also, dogs (and many other mammals) have more types of sensory receptors, and so they encode odorants in a higher-dimensional representation (reminding me of vision in birds). Humans have about 350-400 distinct receptor types, whereas mice have 1000. Many of these receptors are co-activated by the same odorant, so biological olfaction is inherently a high dimensional representation system.
The olfactory system is a much more direct activation path for stored memories, at a much deeper and more multidimensional level, than the other senses, consistent with its primitive evolutionary role in memory and association. The electrical signals from the olfactory tract go to the limbic system, the most ancient part of the brain — the hotbed of our most instinctual and primitive emotions.
This was the first stop of the trip, and the most important one as we were all very hungry. We stopped at a place called Kaadu Mane on the highway, it was a very nice place and the food was good too.
It even had a bit of wildlife on display!

A new code of practice for Police Scoyland on stop and search powers comes into effect this week.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson met police officers at Edinburgh's St. Leonard's police station to launch the new code.
JetBlue Embraer EMB E190 passenger jet "Color Me Blue" approaching the gate at the Fort Lauderdale, Florida airport. I flew this airplane to Austin, Texas. This is the same airplane which I flew in the opposite direction nine days earlier.

Just trying my hand at stop animation. It took me about an hour from start to finish, I thought it turned out alright for my first try.
I used a Nikon D80 and a Nikkor 18-70mm lense. I just used Microsoft Movie maker to compile the video. If I get more into it maybe I'll invest in better software.
My second test can be viewed here: www.flickr.com/photos/33904413@N02/3907440033/
HDR of an old Truck Stop near Mojave Desert, California. Please provide any/all constructive criticisms possible as this is a new and different approach for me. Hopefully its interesting to someone!
Trail head of the Kal Haven Trail on Tenth Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The trail, which is an old railbed, used to go this way. Now it turns a little left just behind where I am standing to pass by the caboose that serves as the information desk for the park.
