Guess what this is:

Yes, you’re right. It’s a tractor, on a field, during harvest. But you see, this is not just any tractor, and it’s also not just any field. It’s actually an onion harvesting tractor on an onion field. Note the “onion” here.

Now, I’m not one who dislikes onion per se. In fact, onions can be a very delicious addition when it comes to your cooking; and they can be most welcome in such cases. In this case, however, I wasn’t too happy about the onions and the field, and the tractor, and the fact that these onions grow in immediate proximity to our home. You see, all summer long there’s been that peculiar smell in the air. The smell of onions. But you can’t just take these onions and put them away in a closet; or throw them in the trash, or cover them up. No, these onions are, more than anything, in your nose, and that’s where they’ll stay until they’re gone. So, today, the big secret that has stirred in my mind this summer, has been lifted – the question of where those onions are that keep filling the air. They grow right here.
