Leeuwarden reminds me of where I grew up in New Orleans. Flat and just about, or under, sea level. From my house, I used to look up at ships on the Mississippi. I bet we had more bugs and alligators and hurricanes than you do.
I'm still stunned by the 3-dimensionality of the coast and the mountains. People who were born here barely notice.

None of that here, we are located way more north. But now we have a few wolves it seems those are spreading over Europe, sort of protected by the green pollyticksians, how idiotic those greens can be, those wolves attack sheep and cause damage to farmers.
Not to worry! We'll deal with them when they develop a taste for little red riding hood's grandma.

They've been saying that SF has gone to the dogs, but maybe it is the lions instead.
I think it is illegal to walk about in public without a kid or a dog.

Somebody shot a wolf here a few weeks back, almost a witchhunt started for the 'bad' guy whodidit. I would kill it too if it came up to me! Very strange times we live in.
One time we were dog-sitting a friend's husky/collie mix. I let him out the basement door about midnight to go do his business, and he decided to investigate this interesting stripy animal....
He ran straight back toward me, running the side of his head along the wet grass as he went. (It would have been very funny to see if I hadn't known why he was doing it.)
Fortunately I had a gallon of white vinegar in the laundry room, so I grabbed a towel and doused him. By the time I was done, he looked and smelled like a giant furry brown pickle, but the skunk scent was completely gone.
(Skunk scent is hydrolyzed by mild acids--a quart of lemon juice also works. Yes, that means that dog got skunked at our house twice.)
Cheers

The active agents is tertiary butyl mercaptan - a thiol. The HS link is pretty easy to break.
I worked out a way of synthesising a precusor from thiourea and tertiary butyl chloride when I was an undergraduate, and we used it in a couple of student pranks. Bicarbonate of soda freed up the thiol from an alcohol solution of the thiouronium salt precursor without hydrolysing the thiol link.
