Maybe it's some other one's territory, or maybe the fishing isn't as good.

But maybe it's just habituation to slowly deteriorating conditions. You
know, they say if you try to cook a frog by putting him in hot water,
he'll just jump out. But if you start him in cold water and raise the
temperature gradually, you can cook him. That's how folks keep living in
"civilization"....e
