I guess I wasnt really done after all.
This wouldnt be the first west coast commercial fishery to be closed... Seems there was a complete closure of Commercial Alaskan King Crab a few years ago. Now, more carefully managed, with quotas & limits and seasons, the fishery is recovering, or appears to be.
For the commercial guys to bemoan a loss of lifestyles, they knew what they were doing the road signs were there for a long time, and if they were truly concerned, should have explored alternatives long before this time.
I should have, as well. I've been in construction for nearly 25 years. Now that industry really sucks, and I'm having to look at some other manner of making a living... I guess you can only pave so much of the landscape before you run out of room.
Anyone need a deck hand??
