How to Delve Deeper Into A Seemingly Familiar Topic

I’m fortunate, in that I don’t have any egregious odor problems with my feet, or any other specific parts of my anatomy. At least I don’t believe I do. I grew up near a feed lot, so my sense of smell is permanently warped. It’s possible that if you got Missy alone and asked her, she could identify an odor problem of which I am unaware.

There are many videos on YouTube promising to give you “professional-grade tips and secrets” for how to pack your suitcase. There are specialized techniques and devices that can be used: packing cubes, compression panels, vacuum bags, folding boards, the KonMari method, garment-rolling. It goes on and on. It all basically boils down to “Cram it in as tight as you can.”

A packing-tips video about “cramming it in” probably wouldn’t get the clicks. I guess there’s a reason I don’t make YouTube videos.

But maybe I should. Picture me in a sweater, tasteful guitar music and whisper singing playing in the background, a ring light reflecting in my glasses as I talk directly into the camera, explaining my packing technique, while text bullet points scroll onto the side of the screen.

The smell might well have been just as bad.

I misread this as "I grew up near a feet lot" and briefly had many questions I didn't want answered.

I think you could make it a music video, with your Cram it in lyrics set to Devo's "Whip it"
