The Book Count 2021

"To know a place, like a friend or lover, is for it to become familiar; to know it better is for it to become strange again. Not novel in the easy way of the new, but strange in a deep , disturbing way that does not dissipate, an unsettling revelation of what should have always been known, a revelation that implicates its belated discoverers."

I feel that way about Santa Cruz sometimes...there has always been a dark underbelly there, but when it's your 'hood, you tune it out for sanity's sake.
