I'd say that cozy nest would be your car, versus your wife's car; definitely an ogre's den that one, replete with chewed chicken bones, used napkins, grease gun tubes, one-handed gloves, empty mosquito repellent cans, several weeks worth of newspapers, crushed cardboard boxes for use in the yard somewhere, grocery bags versus plastic grocery sacks, an old book bag and some gnarly bits of something or other. I suggest some aerosol air freshener.

DeleteObviously. How about a branch of fresh cedar or spruce; a bar or two of Irish Spring soap under the seats? A cautionary ogre odor-warning sign; a free left-over-from-Covid mask? Leave all the windows down a little before you park it for the night? Your favorite underarm deodorant? Whew, I'm almost out of suggestions ...
