Pacific is strange because it carries ghosts inland. It really effects people's brains.
The nice days are so utterly narcotic and psychedelic beautiful that they are hard to describe. They also create absolute amnesia to the generally poor attitudes of the people and the regular stompings by the natural environment, in spite of the nice weather. It makes the Santa Cruz hard liners about as smug and chauvinistic about their place as New Yorkers are about theirs, but in a hippie dippie way. Different places, different pretenses.
Portland is so ungrateful. It wouldn't be the mecca of madness and louche perversion and drug use that it is without the Dempsey Dump of Californians who didn't get enough crazy from their home state. It looks like it's the ugly tatt lesbo sister city of Santa Cruz.
Of course, now, with all the Soros fecal impactions, its also a simmering cauldron of crime and anarchy.
