I am shamelessly going to start sniffing wood. I bought a box of tongue depressors today. I am going to carry my sniffing stick with me all the time. I am going to be a trend setter. Chewing wood gives you splinters.

I bought a pack for garden seed identification. I will bite on it tomorrow to see if it makes work easier
