We all know human-caused climate change will not stop. We all know we’re dooming the rest of the planet along with us. Sigh. So when we had to choose where to live recently we had to make a choice: risk living in the western US that we love (We miss you California! We miss you Colorado!) or move as far northeast as we could and see how the next few years play out. Fires or ticks, which to risk? Well, Maine won out! Fingers crossed we like it here because we are both tired of moving for a while. You know??
