Stay Smokey

-

Today is International Pipe Smoking Day. It's also a Federal holiday here in the U.S. for something else...I choose to ignore that and celebrate I.P.S.D.

I hope you're celebrating with a fine pipe and your favorite tobacco, letting your troubles waft on high to better places. There's nothing more enjoyable than to sit back, gently put fire to the great leaf and think of nothing else but sublime billowing clouds of joy.

Take unto thyself a hobby and find peace of mind. I don't remember who said that but I agree and pipe smoking is one of mine.

Have a wonderful I.P.S.D. and stay smokey!

Enter the new tenants in the building, the black family father and son Antonio and Trey. When Trey meets Ana sparks begin

Well, how you doing today. Feeling nauseous? Feeling giddy with joy? Feeling like the Republic is now under the control of a Sith Lord? Feeling like the saviour of the nation has arrived? I guess it all depends on where you stand. I said in this little forum from the very beginning that Donald Trump could get the Republican nomination and go on to win the Presidency. I was hopeful that he wouldn't but never delusional that he couldn't. Forget about the polls which got it wrong and forget about the professional pundits who got it wrong and are still getting it wrong in their analysis. Trump won in the Electoral College because of rural America turning out in large numbers. As I write this Hillary Clinton still has over 200,000 more votes than Donald Trump and that number will likely grow by the time the count is complete. The irony is that the same people who voted for Donald Trump are the ones who rail against the Electoral College. Let me repeat again that millions of Amer

I don't care what you write, it can be 1234 but do it. This will provide me a better understanding of how many eyeballs are viewing. Thank you for your compliance. Failure to respond will result in a serious toungue lashing, which some of you would probably enjoy.
