A month from now, I will no longer call myself a resident of my hometown of Littleton, Massachusetts, where I’ve lived practically my entire life in the house my parents built with their own hands.

There are many factors contributing to this late midlife uprooting, though the primary one is lack of community, and it will be community that each of us will need to rely upon in order to face what I believe to be a daunting future.

As I’ll be focusing my attentions on building community elsewhere, I’ll no longer pay any attention to happenings in 01460.

To the thousands of readers who’ve read what I’ve written over the years about Littleton, I thank you for taking your time to do so.

As there won’t be any more posts by yours truly that concern the governance, corruption, cronyism, abuse of power, cover-ups, and general decline of my hometown, I decided to share with all of you my top ten posts.

Click to read: Prologue: We’re Running Out of Time to be Good to Each Other

It was in the summer of 2023 when I first said, “Earth is dying.”

The sentiments I shared on July 31, 2023 have not changed.

We still need each other, and we’re still running out of time to be good to each other.

The second half of this post centers on cannabis, a topic that makes several TOP TEN appearances.
