The smell of yesteryear

I just used a manual pencil sharpener for the first time in a LONG time. Brought back some serious memories. I remembered the importance of technique to insure a fine point (lighten up on the pressure towards the end of the sharpening). And I remembered the SMELL. Wow. I forgot the clear, pungent aroma of a sharpened pencil.

Almost as sweet as reminiscing about buying school supplies at the beginning of the school year.

And yes, behold the technology of where I work.
