...got up this morning...just as I had for the past 42 years...three hundred sixty some odd days before...I didn't notice anything strange...well...something happened to 103.7...AND...Wayne Brady STILL had a show on FOX...other than that...nothing else weird...

...anyway...I got up to walk Sammy...and...get the local "news"paper...not to read...to help with Sam's "walk"...afterwards...I drove...without Sammy...to STARBUCK'S...caffeine makes him hyper...and...ordered "the Usual"...venti...half black...half passion tea...on ice...with three Equals...four...if I'm feeling devious...not that I'm a picky drinker...

...it was nice outside...translation...not sweaty hot...and...not raining...so I decided to partake al fresco...while in the great outdoors...I pulled out a square and my Hawaiian lighter...not that Hawaiians have exotic lighters...this one WAS different...but...it was a just a lighter...from Hawaii...thanks Scotty and Tammy...anyway...as the crackle from the drag off the cigarette faded into the Westheimer traffic noise...I started to hear folks murmur...now...I can honestly say this is the first time I've ever heard a murmur...and I did something I've never done before...I started to pay attention...and...I realized they were pointing and talking about me...smoking!!!!

...the last time I had to worry about the Marlboro Militia...the Salem Secret Service...the Ultra Light Elite...the GPC Gestapo...I was 16...ducking from Sister Mary Margaret at Our Lady of Perpetual Motion...not that I went there...I just looked good in the uniform...BUT I never felt like Anne Frank hiding from the Lucky Strike Lynch Mob...until now!!!!

...when did non-smokers take over!?!?!...I did the EXACT same thing just TWO days ago...no one said anything then...I quickly crushed out my cigarette...slowly started to leave...and got this feeling I was 16 again...back in school...and...EVERYBODY knows that smoking ain't allowed in school!!!!!

...I don't know...that's just me...
