MORNING SENTINEL • June 11, 2021
Nature has been playing nasty tricks on us. First it was ticks, then it was the coronavirus and now, browntail moth caterpillars. And the latest is some weird substance on Maine beaches that cause your feet to turn black when you step on it? Are we living a nightmare, or what? Just when we seem to be approaching a semblance of normalcy, something else socks us in the gut. I’m not a fan of home air conditioning, opting instead to open windows and feel the breeze. Being shut inside a cool house and not being able to experiencing the sweetness of summer isn’t my idea of living. But maybe that’s where we’ll be in another couple of decades. One thing I know for sure? I’ll rue that day. ~ Amy Calder
