My husband and I are just back from a 6 A.M. walk around the piers of Portland, ME. No one but a few old salts were about. One was named Jamie, and he was prepping his trawler to go out for haddock. Paying $6.05 for a gallon of diesel and an acute shortage of workers, Jamie said it won’t be long before he quits going out.

Perhaps an unscientific sample of one with a margin of error of +\- 100, but Jamie was one of the many, many skippers who had tied their boats up at the docks; and each one is making the same calculation. I couldn’t help feeling we haven’t even begun to feel the impact of the inflationary forces eddying out there.

Well, at least you had that early morning in the Old Port--know it well...
