Bang bang bang bang bang

We moved out of Jerusalem because we couldn’t breathe, the streets were disgusting, it was noisy and it stressed us out to no end.

Needless to say I was kind perturbed to read this story in Ha’aretz that says the air quality in my town of Modi’in is now worse that Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

The air in Modi’in contained extremely high levels of particles which when inhaled, can pose a health risk. The ministry attributed the high levels of pollutants to the large scope of construction and quarrying carried out the area.

They started quarrying (is that a word?) a couple of weeks ago literally across the street from our place and the dust is tolerable because it’s winter and the windows remain closed but the incessant noise from 6:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. is doing my damn head in.
