The coast needs a bath.
The upside of living on the coast are those most frequent of days when the air smells crisp and salty. The air actually smells, well, blue. If that makes any sense at all. Not that dirty, dusty, diesel crap that passes for air out in the valleys.
The downside of living on the coast are those days when the fog rolls in thick during the night, and in the morning everything smells remarkably like a wet, dirty dog. Woof.

Well, *I* thought it was entertaining.

Oh, I thought it was entertaining too, but 10 degrees with windchill had rendered my fingers speechless. I'll take wet-dog smell over cooler by the lake.

wet dogs--that smell brings back very fond memories
He was just 8 weeks old. It was raining when we went to pick him up.
Wet dog smell, to some it was horrid, to me it was just the best because I had Clifford, my dog, in my lap.

I would totally take the wet smell over the -13 winds and slushy snow and bitchy drivers here. Oh, to be in great CA.

Ever smelled the fog that rolls in from the wildlife preserve on that long unlit stretch of Campus Drive? Mm... bird farts.
