YUMMY WORLD
Santa Cruz, Ca. shop window.
Teach 'em early......
This trip to Santa Cruz was really disheartening. There was smoke in the air and some ash covering every surface. the streets had few people except for the homeless and a few generally unenthusiastic tourists. Of course the pandemic has taken its victims, if not by outright disease, then by destroying the ability of businesses to survive, thus creating many yawning vacant storefronts and some boarded up or with papered windows. The city was not what I have known it to be over these many years of visitations.
And, I know it should not be overblown, but it does make one wonder if this is not the dystopian future we all are facing. At my age, it's not something I need to concern myself with. But to be young and to adopt the perspective I've described, must be terribly upsetting and perplexing.
