Some summer mornings you can smell the garlic 15 miles up the road in San Jose.

Used to be able to, at least.

It’s not at all uncommon to see California crapped upon on FR, as if the whole state is guilty of the lunacy in San Francisco and Los Angeles. I love “old” California, where agriculture still thrives, shrinking though it may be. Beautiful place, nice people. Wouldn’t mind living somewhere in the vicinity of the Central Coast.

Still can, but it's an odd wind that takes it your way.

I've smelled it in Los Banos many times.
