No Smokin’….No Jokin’!

January 1, 2008 by ruthrap

Here it is…January 1, 2008! Here I am to see a new year start again! I think that is something to celebrate..so, strike up the band..me, I will just turn on the radio here in a bit and pour me another cup of coffee! I did actually see the new year in at the strike of midnight last night..with my dear husband! He got a smooch and so did Josie from both of us…she didn’t know what it was all about…but she loved the attention just the same. I don’t know where Kramer was..probably hogging my side of the bed! Jose is hauling him out now in my nice new blanket that him and Josie have claimed as theirs! Spoiled rotten animals! Not much happening here this morning..we are up and I have the radio fired up and he has the TV on….I just gave up the radio..”A Bright, Sun Shiny Day” was just silenced! The new non-smoking law goes into effect today…that should be an interesting event for all the cig lovers here in our fair city…fortunately I am not one of them! I see cigarettes as an addiction I would just as soon do without! I have smoked my share of them in years past and am so glad I gave them up some time ago! My sympathies for those who still have a yen to fire up! I understand what it means to be denied something that you enjoy…but you have to look at the positive side of the new rule…it is for your own good and for the welfare of your fellow man! Your lungs will be happier and so will ours! I know that the new law will not be well-received by a lot of folks…like many laws aren’t…because all those who smoke will feel like their freedoms are being violated…but when you look at the non-smokers view…try to understand that those who don’t smoke are very much violated by having to breathe the smoke from your exhaling all those fumes into the air that we have to breathe also! No offense intended..just the way I see it
