Sage advice on mold smell

[Joe Martin Cantrell <agiyo@domain.elided>]

2. Sell the car to someone who is "oraganically (should this be 
Oregonically, or organically?)
oriented." Advertise it as "An Alfa that has become
one with nature."
3. Sell it in the Pacific Nothwest. Natives of the
area won't notice any difference from the cars they
drive every day.

A few years ago, during my short unhappy time renting cars, one of our 
fleet had a strong mold smell that resisted many hours effort with the 
best, most expensive deodorizers.  It made no difference, and this was 
awful, even for Portland---just across the river from Mr. DeBaker and his 
companion, Ms. Healey Jensen.  It was so musty, it was unbearable, even to 
me, who lived 18 years in SE Asia.  You HAD to drive with the windows down, 
and emerged feeling like others could smell the car on you.

It was cured when I rented the car to a couple of latter day hippies (see 
Mr. DeB's #2) who drove out into the desert and returned with a load of 
sage brush.  It completely obliterated the mold smell, with only the 
slightest pleasant after scent.

If you are close to sage, or perhaps something similar would work, you 
might try that.  Good excuse for a drive to the desert!

Ciao,
Joe
