Miss Puerto Rico's View Of Her New Chesapeake Energy Noisy Neighbor

I had not visited Miss Puerto Rico's since Chesapeake Energy altered the view from her balcony.

Miss Puerto Rico is harboring the erroneous belief that the brown barrier surrounding the drilling operation stops the sound of drilling from reaching her delicate ears.

I let Miss Puerto Rico continue to harbor her erroneous belief that she will be hearing nothing from her new neighbor.

I knew the brown barrier does not block the noise because of the drilling operation that operated on the east side of Veterans Park in Arlington. An apartment complex was between the park and the drilling site. With that brown barrier blocking no sound. You could hear the screeching no matter where you were in the park.

The first time Chesapeake drilled in my neighborhood the operation was closer to my abode. There was no brown barrier. The drilling was maybe 1,500 feet, or more, from my ears. It was very loud. And very dirty. Everything was coated with dust.

Chesapeake did not offer to wash any cars to clean off the Chesapeake dust.

Miss Puerto Rico also thinks the brown barrier is there to stop the dirt from flying through the air. I did not disabuse her of that notion either.
