The Writing Is On The Wall

I'm not talking about some tawdry bar men's room philosophy. The above picture is from just such a place, Rudyard's, here in Houston, where obviously someone felt compelled to impart a little wisdom for all those seeking relief. No, I am referring to the behavior that goes on in this bar and countless others in the city of Houston, namely, Smoking. Drinking and smoking go together much like drinking and driving used to in the old days, but this is soon to end. The new city ordinance which bans smoking in all bars and restaurants takes effect in September. Now those of you with a keen eye for observation might have noticed in my previous blogs a clue into my personal habits. There it is right there, pictured in the my very first post as I exit my friends Porsche and again right before your eyes in the header to my blog I have taken the liberty of highlighting the objects in question, a pack of cigarettes with lighter. Yep, I smoke cigarettes. Let's use our crystal ball here for a moment and look into the not too distant future, I see smokers coraled onto a patio, bunched up, puffing away, with other smokers ruing the day that our nasty habit was expelled from polite socialising. Why? Why, oh god of justice and mercy is this happening? One reason: Smoking Is Bad For Your Health. Well I for one have read the writing on the wall and it's time to quit smoking. In upcoming blog I will set out a strategy for ridding myself of this most pervasive of drug addictions and hopefully will be the healthier and happier for it.
