Cigarettes
I was driving and the radio said the price of cigarettes was going up to $2.50 a pack. I picked a half pack off the dash and said, "There's no way I'm paying $2.50 for you. You're not worth it." and I threw them out the window. Since that day I have smoked less than 10 and zero in the last 40 or more years so I wasn't quite cold turkey but damn close.

Sedan_Clan - we have a litterbug. Fine him!!!

Kidding Buug, that's awesome and I'm sure it takes a lot of willpower. I've personally just chosen not to try a cigarette because I didn't want to really enjoy it and get hooked lol.

But I do smoke cigars in the summer, probably about 20 cigars a year or so. I quit every October or so whenever it gets colder than is enjoyable to sit outside at night and then start back up around May. I've never found it hard yet to quit in October but the moment that happens I might stay clean for a full year or so to do a reset.

I was out this morning stocking up on a few essentials before the storm hits this evening and saw this. The spot under his right side doesn't have a space in front of it, there's a tree there, so he's already protected on his front and his right so why did he feel the need to take half the space on his left???

I'm actually going to take a guess that it is an employee's car, and was parked like that to block the place where they intend to pile the snow when they plow.....
