Fwoo and philosphy

Biking home today to see my puppy (<3)>
I was also wondering if every organism in this world is linked by similar receptors, but differing on the analog level. Er, such as scent..I wonder if the olfactory sensors for humans are the same but different from other animals due to their different niches and necessary functions. Ie. excrement is considered foul, disease ridden, and something to be avoided since the smell is associated with something bad. In contrast, rats eat their own feces to obtain/recover Vitamin K, complex B, and biotin. Presumably, the smell doesn't get to them. The smell of rotting carcasses would send people running because it would be an indicator of a potentially harmful situation. However, vultures and other scavengers feed off of maggot infested dead and decomposing animals.I wonder what it would smell like from their point of view..Life is strange indeed.

PS It seems as though it's never enough time. An hour or four..it seems as though there are always things to talk about, or laugh and sometimes cry..stupid relativity. I just want to be happy, and I want everyone else to be happy too. That would be nice. It does appear to be a lifetime pursuit for this happiness. At this point in time there would be nothing better than going to sleep next to the one I love and waking up next to him..only to have him wake up to glance over at me, grunt, and then roll over..greeeat. But, it's always nice to be in a relationship with someone you can be completely comfortable with and joke about anything with. I've always wanted someone like that. I miss him terribly.
