I worry about lots of things. Our planet is in flux! Locally, many of the most troubling issues have been baked in for decades. Cause and effect are pretty easy to understand, but new compounding factors are in play. A lot has changed about living well in these islands — fish decimated, unreliable ferry service, soaring property taxes, costs precluding buying local, ad nauseam — since I retired and happily settled here 20 years ago.
