The Sweet Smell of Summer in Appalachia

Yes, with the warm weather comes the common smell of summer in Appalachia. I'm not talking about flowers, or farms, I mean burning garbage. A large proportion of the people in Appalachian Kentucky have not advanced beyond burning all their household trash. Of course they are advanced enough to know that the Commonwealth has passed laws against such practices (unfortunately, they have forgotten to tell their law enforcement officers, such is Kentucky). The result is that as night falls, and darkness settles over the hills, so to does the pleasant aroma of burning milk bottles, trash bags, diapers, used furniture, and whatever else the people here no longer have a use for. So much for peaceful Appalachian nights.
