Being in the woods as the sun rises is on my list of life's greatest pleasures. I'm so glad that the world still has wild places in the 21st century. I bet you didn't know that the Appalachian Trail can be reached in less than an hour from Manhattan.
I was a farm kid on land my family bought during the depression for a few dollars an acre. The land has been slowly sold starting in the 60s and today, just a small remnant is left.
Havenβt been able to hear from my right ear for a week. Went to the doctor on day 1 and she prescribed drops, said my ear canal is swollen completely shut. Pharmacy tells me that my insurance requires pre-approval. Denied. 50% hearing loss and no treatment. Kinda pissed.
