There is a wonderful smell in the air in the mornings, but the madness keeps me from noticing sometimes. The air is crisp, the wind is sharp, and the rain beats the browning grasses into their long winter sleep. The smell of dead grass and decaying foliage from the bushes and trees sounds disgusting at the telling, but brings about many great memories of times long past. As the dogs and I walk along Mission Beac...
