Every couple of months my wild redneck neighbors burn the insulation off of copper wire, in order to sell the copper for recycling.

This is definately NOT the good-for-the-environment kind of recycling. They started burning sometime Friday night and stopped at about 9 pm last night.

Now, still, my lungs and my back ache. I feel like I have a huge object (such as a safe or something) pressing down on me from both sides and I can't breathe well.

Crazy, eh? Those people have little kids that live over there too.  :'(
