A slice of the City appeared before me, undulating slightly like a carpet that someone had failed to pull tight.

Thoughts 

SAN FRANCISCO

GIVES THE BEST HUGS

SOO SAYZ  
"Some of the best things happened to me in San Francisco. Some of the worst things happened to me in San Francisco. I am a citizen of two places and a resident of one. I pledge allegiance - not to a queen, not to a flag - to a topography."

Check out my blog post, San Francisco Gives The Best Hugs. It's a thought piece on the city that always inspires me, and sometimes brings me to despair. Read it and then tell me what you think.
