[James Hepler <jameshepler AT yahoo.com>]

I'm down to half a pack!

And as my mother rests in the ICU after open heart
surgery, I'm thinking I might not buy another pack. 
Unfortunately, I buy smokes in bulk, so I'm gonna have
to finish those.

If it helps, I hate smoking in the house at the 506. 
I still do it from time to time, but people constantly
milling about, the stagnant air, the summer heat, I
prefer to sit at the bar (or preferably the
touch-maxx) and enjoy my poisonous cloud there.
