  • In most restaurants, right next to the candy machines. Theaters, bowling alleys, bus stops, gas stations, hardware stores, most stores actually, usually near the entrance, sometimes outside the front door.

    Fucking everywhere.

    I’m not nostalgic for them, I’ve never smoked, and I was happy when the bans started. My god, we used to put up with that in theaters and restaurants, hard to believe.

    I remember back around 1984, I was flying on stand-by, which meant I could only get a seat if there was one free just before takeoff. There was one seat available, and it was in the smoking section. I had already spent the previous night in the airport and I was anxious to get home, so I took it. Fortunately, I was exhausted and fell asleep soon after takeoff and slept the entire trip. It took a full day to get that crap out of my lungs, I could smell it the entire time, it was disgusting.










  • A couple of years ago I woke up from a rare afternoon nap. But I thought it was morning, because the sun outside was setting so the light was dim, which I took for the sun rising, which is usually when I get up. The time was about 6:30, which was the right time for me to wake up. So I got my morning coffee, and sat down in front of the computer for a bit of browsing. It was a typical morning, until I noticed it was getting darker outside, instead of lighter. I peeked out the bedroom window to the southern sky to see if it was overcast. Nope.

    Anyway, it took me about twenty minutes to realize it wasn’t morning and to remember that I had laid down for a nap.

    As long as you feed them high-quality food, they don’t care. And, I think I know why.

    You know how Einstein famously had a closet full of the exact same suit? I’ve been doing that with food for over four years now, I just don’t want to think about it. I also adopted the mantra, “food is not entertainment, food is not reward”. It’s a pretty good diet, no processed food, lots of vegetables, some fruit, organic chicken, olive oil, no sugar, etc.

    Anyway, I don’t think about food anymore, I don’t long for something different. I think dogs are probably the same way. They need something to eat, and as long as it’s high enough quality, and meets their needs they don’t care if it’s the same thing every day. It’s not entertainment, and it’s not reward, it’s just food.
