Whine about the price of gasoline if you must about, but here in the Pacific Northwest, that hue and cry you’ve been hearing is for the price of salmon, which is about to go through the roof. With stocks of Sacramento River chinook salmon depleted, coastal communities, never economically well-off under the best of circumstances, are looking at the possibility of an almost complete shut down of the commercial salmon-fishing season. Even worse, one supplier here in Portland has only limited stocks of salmon- at $37 a pound. Oh, the humanity….
Man, the next thing you know, they’ll be telling using that the price of coffee and microbrews will be going up. Someone best fire up the riot police….
