She’s buried in the middle of nowhere, in the upper reaches of Appalachia, and as I drove, I noticed an ugly scar on the summit of a hill. The verdant tree line had a great gap, bare stone staring down into the valley below. “What happened there⁉️” I thought to myself. Then I realized, “Oh, yeah, 'Fracking‼️’”
