I’m glad you said that, I spent hours this week googling where in the US is safe from this hell I’m living. I wasn’t able to see what I was looking for. If I could, I’d pack up, and leave this town today. I’m so afraid that no matter where I go, it will happen again.
The compressor has been so loud lately, it rattles my windows. I tried to sit on my back patio, but my throat and eyes started burning. I’m reaching my breaking point.
