"I get back to my old stomping grounds about once every two or three
years. The biggest thing I notice is how my memory of things is
tainted by the then familiarity."
After a trip to southern MN from noon to 6 PM, I stopped in my "old
neighborhood" and looked about. Everything
looked the same here--the sliding hill, the homes, the trees, everything.
This was about dinner time on September 11,
2001. Everything I remembered from my youth was just as I had left it a
half century earlier. But the rest of the world
had been turned upside down. IIRC, "You Can't Go Home Again" was a George
Orwell book.
