What's that smell?

QD's spouse accuses her of over reacting to the Mysterious Sweet Smell In Manhattan. But QD smelled it. She was climbing up to bed and watching Zorro when she asked her Hairless Husband, "Do you smell Maple Syrup?" HH responded negative, adding that he had smelled it at work. Now, work is 101 streets away from home!
And it wasn't breakfast time, and no one was cooking.

Then today there is this article today: Strong, Sweet Smell Reported in Manhattan".

QD wants to know what the hell is going on. Remember this???? and THIS!!!!
