This morning I took a short stroll around the 'hood, partially to get my head in the game after coming out the other side of a crushing three-day headache, but mostly to pop across the street to pick up some cigarettes (I know, I know....)
I live in an industrial park. Along a major trucking route. Across the street from a heavy equipment yard. Exhaust, dust and noise are an integral part of my life. It's not perfect, but it is where I am at this point in my life.
