Journey Of The Sorcerer (Revisited)

one last thing
this one most seriously
I was reading mostly harmless and i came across this line:
"When it's fall in New York, the air smells as if someone's been frying goats in it, and if you are keen to breathe the best plan is to open a window and stick your head in a building"
i just wanted to know if it was true, so, if you know, please, let me know.
