Smoking

Had a crappy day? Think your only friend is the dog? Got fired? Someone piss in your Wheaties? Just need to blow off some steam and rant? Here's the place to do it. No judgement, maybe some sympathy, possibly some advice... but definitely a safe place to go off on the world.

Exactamundo! The facility we're going to is a smoke free facility. I'm still stumped by the fact that I witnessed a group of people, in the parking lot dedicated to the cancer center, smoking! Even if I was still a smoker, I wouldn't do that!

It astounds me when I visit a hospital, to see patients in robes, dragging their IV stands out to the parking lot so they can light up. It's one of the few times I recognize the evil power of tobacco, and feel sympathy for smokers.

A number of years ago Big Tabaco was implicated in genetically/chemically altering tobacco to make it more addictive. It is believed that tobacco currently is more addictive than heroin. :o

It was a bit harsh. I apologize. :)
In my defense, I do have alot of respect for tools. I appeared to have just about every one of mine out on the garage floor over the weekend before I cleaned them up and put them away.

I spend enough time with them. Often, they're the only ones who aren't mad at me.
