Friday

White or black smoke, all the same....


In Fort Wayne, officially today many things you could do yesterday can not be done today. For example, you can not light up a cigarette in a public restaurant. You can not have a smoke in a bar or a bowling alley (who goes to bowling allies anyway?) You can not light an incense in a church (but you can light them in your home if you are trying to mask... you know perhaps bad cooking, yeah, bad cooking!) You can't get "smoking mad" at your boss! You can't have a smoked turkey leg. You can't have open pit BBQ. You can't have a campfire to roast, toast or burn food items. You can't burn your leaves (or you house, that too is illegal, but that may have always been a law). So where there is smoke there is the right to be fined, arrested or assaulted, insulted or something similar. But you can light smoke bombs on 13 days of the year, so every smoker in town is awaiting the fourth of July. Ah, just like electing a new Pope!
