The longer I live here the more I hate it

I tried to start out with something positive to say about this place and couldn't think of anything. The hottest and coldest place on this planet. Do not move here if you have allergies or Asthma. It will kill you in the spring. To make the problem worse, as soon as it gets "down" to 75 degrees the fireplaces start up. This makes the nicest time of the year, early spring and late fall, impossible to tolerate. It's finally cool enough to open the windows, but due to the inverted weather system during this time you choke to death from all the smoke from the fireplaces. Most people are rude and uneducated. Environmental protection is a dirty word and there is no global warming. Believe it or not there is no vehicle inspection in Oklahoma. Some of the oldest, raw gas spewing cars are on the raod. Totally bald tires are O.K. No need to protect the drinking water which comes from a lake that allows motor boats and unlimited pesticide and fertilizer dumping. Most Restaurants are filthy and serve horrible, grease laden food. Recreation consists mainly of getting drunk and doing drugs despite the fact that one of the most beautiful Wildlife Refuges is right outside city limits. Would you believe there are actually people in this town who never heard of that?! Why am I still here? Nearing retirment and it can't come soon enough and then I am out of here!
