Wet concrete (or limestone) that is already hot does it for me.<BR/><BR/>Rob V, unfortunately, i never got any shots of the garage in it's prime. I tried to think of a graphic, but non would do it justice!aAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781609606261382365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32537618.post-46214919142878123172008-06-30T07:37:00.000-07:002008-06-30T07:37:00.000-07:00The smell of rain coming in over the desert....sme...The smell of rain coming in over the desert....smell it a good half hour before it hits, wafted in on the breeze....took a bit to figure it out, but it's the clean smell of wet creosote bush....amazingWollf Howlsatmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13326431237011861478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32537618.post-43544973346568065022008-06-29T05:54:00.000-07:002008-06-29T05:54:00.000-07:00Strange -- the link between smells and memories. T...Strange -- the link between smells and memories. The smell of freshly mowed grass often evokes memories of my rough-and-tumble boyhood -- running barefoot through the front yard, the back yard, the neighbor's yard ... stepping on a red wasp hidden in the grass and getting stung between the toes .. stepping on a place where a dog did his business (which brings to mind other smells and yet other memories). I have often wondered about this strange link between smells and memories. Great post aA. Thanks for posting.

My Grnandfathers garage had that same smell and darkness, you could hear the rock polisher motor running. I haven't heard whatnot used in a long time, A word he uses often. One time he built me a whatnot shelf to hold all of my what nots. I called him Papa, one of the most kind and patient loving man that I have missed since the day he passed away. I will never forget all the memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32537618.post-86988646455970188502008-06-27T08:26:00.000-07:002008-06-27T08:26:00.000-07:00Creative once again - I like this:"the black brake...Creative once again - I like this:<BR/>"the black brake soot that accentuated every line on my fingers and framed every fingernail with a near-indelible line of ebony.
