buses and trucks that put out poison are ok everywhere, especially down town where a lot of people are out walking.
smoking on your front porch is still legal.
every fri night after work, (yes i do still work a little)we stop at the grocery store. toby goes in and shops while sheba and i sit on the bench. i have my coffee and a cigar. the only mentions of the cigar by people passing, are "is that a cuban", "that smells good, what is it?" i am including not only guys but the nice elderly woman that stop to pet the dog and talk to me. (i wish it were the other way, but.)
the guys and i sometimes do a little trading on the spot and exchange emails and send web sites to each other.
since i lost 3 pounds and shaved the top of my head, i think these elderly women are hitting on me because when i say "we are waiting for my wife." they leave. i wish i were 67 again.
i have not bought a cigar in cal for years. toby smokes cigarettes that are now up to $5.00 a pack, so of course when we go to vegas, we shop at the native american store where cigarettes are $12.50 a carton, and if i run out of cigars, not likely, but their prices for cigars are reasonable.
