I was born in Beverly, Ma. 69 years ago, and only left for 1 year for a job. That was in 1968. Been here ever since. It's a small town located 2 minutes from the beach, sand, and Good old salt water.

My breathing is worse on dry, windy days. I got really sick last March in Palm Springs because there is zero humidity. Albeit it looked like paradise everywhere I went.
