This blog is so old it precedes blogs. It has evolved from editorial comment by the same title appearing in Rural Delivery magazine since June, 1976. Only now, July, 2010, have I screwed up nerve to bring the commentary on-line. The plan is to add editorial comment written for our other magazines, Atlantic Beef and Atlantic Forestry. Plus there’ll be new “arguments” from time to time including “Letters from Sandy Bay,” our home on the shore, very small subsistence farm, and location of the Harrison Lewis Coastal Discovery Centre.
