What a weekend huh? A very large earthquake in Chile, so close in time to the one that happened in Haiti. I feel that there may be more coming that we've been speculating on for years. I can't say just how I come to that conclusion, but it's just a feeling that I have.
I had a birthday yesterday, (still in the 50's), and decided that I would join the ranks of the non-smoking. There are two reasons that I have decided to quit. One was that it was just time. I've been smoking since I was 18, and though it hasn't affected my health yet, I decided I have had enough, in spite of the fact that I really enjoyed smoking. Yeah I know, some call it a nasty disgusting habit, but hey, so what. The other reason, was the cost. I am still angry that the government, especially the State of Washington, put such high taxes on the tobacco industry in order to kow tow to the crybaby nonsmokers. The cost has become prohibitive. I've heard all the arguments, second hand smoke, cancer, etc.etc.etc., and I agree that nonsmokers have the right not to have to breath some one elses smoke, but hey...you can always ...MOVE!!! We have just as much right to smoke, as you have not to. Anyway don't get me started. I just can't justify spending almost $10 a day to enjoy something that MIGHT cause me health problems later on down the road. So...we'll see how long this lasts...Like the old joke, "quitting it easy, I've done it lots of times", well... this time I'm committed.
Other than that, my new baby kitty has turned out to be such a joy. He follows me around, comes to his name, I named him Willy (Wee Willy). He talks a lot and I really think I can teach him to accompany me on walks with a leash. I'll let you know how that goes.
I hope that this week will go well for everyone on the planet. Thanks for visiting.
