You know how smells trigger memories. The smell of diesel really does
it for me.

Me too! When I was very young (like 5 yrs old), my parents had an oil
heater in the living room. So the smell of burning diesel or fuel oil has
always conveyed home, hearth, warmth... to me. Coming into the cabin of a
boat with a diesel heater just feels so... warm and cozy!

And for some reason, picking at and eating the asbestos behind the heater
didn't kill me or my sister...
