Ms. Rusche companion died this past January. “Ayla is still with me in spirit,” she said, but she is now as isolated as she’s ever been.
This summer is a return trip to Rappahannock for Ms. Rusche. She spent time here after her “escape” from DC seven years ago and taught German for a semester at the Hearthstone school. The heat and humidity drove her off to Northern California and Oregon for summer stays. She has spent a lot of time in the Arizona/New Mexico area moving about as the seasons changed.
The friends she has here have meant a lot, but she knows Rappahannock is not a good place for her. Ms. Rusche thinks the air in British Columbia will help. For the winter she’s hoping that the warmer climate and the simpler building methods and materials in Mexico might provide the shelter she needs from October until the spring and summer seasons come.
Ms. Rusche survives, bare-, ly. Her car needs to be fixed before she leaves, but somehow that will happen. Shell travel about a half a day to get to a spring she knows about and there she can get 15 gallons of water which will supply all her water needs for a week. And as long as she can stay to the back roads out of traffic and can get access to organic foods, shell make it to British Columbia.
She believes that unless everyone begins making some changes, even small ones, “eventually more and more people will get sick.” Those who have MCS are referred to as “canaries in the mine.”
