My three constant companions. 

Why do I smoke? I smoke for the same reasons all smokers smoke - because somehow we have lost respect for the health of our bodies. A smoker would never pour harmful, foreign matter into the carburator of their car, instead we do it to our lungs. Yipee! Tar and nicotine. Those damn "ine's", they'll get you every time.

The same tale applies to coffee. Because I smoke the strongest cigarettes available, I brew my coffee the same way. The amount of grounds most people use to make a pot, I use to brew a single cup. Yummie!

So yes, my breath and my clothes have that wonderful aroma people yearn for.

My son gives me shit every day, but I am a hopeless junkie. I gotta have it. Gotta have it now, right now!

My home city here, Colorado Springs, CO recently passed a new law prohibiting smoking in all buildings and outside only within a distance of fifteeen feet or greater from any doorway.  Oh, all the smokers have the same bitches... "it's not fair", "we're being unfairly penalized". Bullshit! They don't enjoy my perspective - smokers are stupid, it's a waste of money, it ruins your health, it leaves a stench everywhere. I say great, now non-smokers don't have to endure the nasty residual effects of smokers.
