"Until now I always felt a stranger in this town, and that I'd no concern with you people. But now that I've seen what I have seen, I know that I belong here whether I want it or not."

(Excerpt from Albert Camus'. . .The Plague)

This excerpt, found at the bottom of page 209, is a precise description of the way I've felt about living in Los Angeles. I've never felt part of the local L.A. culture. Have never cared for the brand name driven, materialistic, consumerist mentality which overtly presides out here.

However, after 30 years of L.A. living I must admit, this is my home and, ". . .I know that I belong here. . ."

Love the phrase...

Stealing one's thunder

Although, I don't like it when people do it.

Safe is a relative term, you can be safe in a storm but still get frazzled and wet.
