Rocket propelled grenade launchers and mortar rockets, believed by the U.S. military to be Iranian made, are seen on display during a news conference at a U.S. military base in Baghdad, February 26th, 2007. The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on an Iranian general from the elite Qods force as well as three Iraqis living in exile in Syria and Iran for fomenting violence in Iraq.
Up until seven years ago (Feb. 14th to be exact) I used to smoke like a chimney so I have some consideration for how smokers must feel about the slowly eroding right to smoke.
But I have to say I have become a real hypocrite about it because I LOVE not having to smell that smoke when I’m in a restaurant. I really had no idea how awful it smelled when I was a smoker.
Now I can’t stand it and I feel bad about how much my family and friends must have hated to have me around when I was smoking. It is also very nice not to have to choose between smoking, non-smoking and no-preference.
It seemed like we ended up sitting within a few feet of the smoking section anyway. I was going to put this in the Pet Peeve section but that wouldn’t be right because, for once, this is something I am happy about.
I won’t start a new happy section though because it doesn’t happen all that often. I am a curmudgeon at heart.
