Piko you live in the one state that I know has to have the highest grocery bills in the nation, as so much of the food has to be ship in.
I'm reading a Harry Turtledove book that is an alt history of Perl Harbor and the biggest problem the characters face is lack of food. Takes sometime to go from growing sugar cane and pineapples to rice and vegetables. As mor and more local farms are sold to developers and Corporate Farms take over from family farms, I'm afriad fresh vegetables will be harder to get and more expensive. Guess I'll need to cut down some trees and hope I can have a garden that will get enough sun to save money at rate things are going.
