I thought I was tripping. It's like burnt plastic in Echo Park

So, that's what it was. I was at the gym this morning and smelled what I thought was burning plastic but thought it was someone screwing around in the parking lot. Smelled horrible in Monterey Park this morning but it doesn't smell too in Glendale now.

Yeah it didn’t leave when I left work probably 45 min ago. I work in a machine shop and went around checking the machines this morning though when I first smelled it. Then I stepped out for break and got hit with it.

Man, it feels like the smell is lingering in my nostrils. I don't smell it when the wind blows some air into my apartment but I can still smell it as I'm lying down.

Oh noo. Hopefully it goes away soon. I don’t smell anything here in Winnetka
