Santa Cruz! Well what can one say that hasn't been said already.
We are the Gravitational Center of Weirdness for the entire Milky Way Galaxy!
-
We, meaning the 'City Fathers', were the first to call for the impeachment of George W. Bush!
-
We were the first to prosecute 'Mr. Twister' the local Street Clown, for feeding delinquent parking meters, thus 'Robbing' the city of parking ticket revenues! (an agreement was reach out of court!)
-
We were the first to declare our city a 'Nuclear Free Zone'. My wife has declared herself a nuclear free zone also... but that's another story! (... you can still get an Xray or radiation treatments here, so what does it all mean?)
