Taking the little girl fishing today. It's her first time. Some wonder if she might be a bit squeamish about it all and I'm reminded of the lovely little song she made up watching deer graze our yard a couple years ago.
"Helllo-o little deer. You're very pret-ty. We want to eat you." I think she'll be fine.Comments

they should do it an keep doing it. These people will never stop until they get embarrassed. I recall when a can of dip was .75 cents. In Canada it is thirty bucks and even then it has no flavor at all. These absurd tax policies created the black market that thrives. Look at old school mafia movies, they were selling cigs from NC in NYC. As I recall NC didn't have the lowest tax rates, Kentucky did, and Virginia was close. But NC became famous, and they had all those megalomart outlets.

think of the parties as sports teams. First of all, they have to come up with a coalition that gives them over 50 percent. If they don't have it, they will change anything to get over the snide. There i a reason they pay consultants so much, the key is you have to get over 50 percent.
For some reason Dems went against tobacco even though it was their home grown product, the thing that made many of them rich. They went for pot for votes and nothing else. Now tobacco is bad and pot is good if you are a Democrat. Same reason why Jews are bad and Palestinians are good. They divvy up the people like pixy stix. In the end, the well to do just have to assemble a group that gives them over 50 percent.

that is a deep dive. It comes down to control. The government wants to control tobacco, alcohol, and pot. Sure they want to control everything else too, if we will let them, they for sure would take control.
now for vapiing or the hugely growing "nicotine products". Many say they say they are tobacco free. Some say they are derived from nicotine. The reality is the government wants control, and there are many things involved with this that I doubt many understand. Why is nicorette a pharmeceutical and medicine, while vaping, using a nicotine pouuch, or snusing, something very different? It comes down to control in the end.

I will give you one example if you are so bored that you are willing to look it up. The E. U. banned Snus decades ago. They allow smoking like crazy, but ban snus. It doesn't matter that the nation of Sweden uses Snus heavily and many fewer Swedes smoke. It doesn't matter that Swedes have demonstrably lower incidences of lung cancer, and mouth cancer. It doesn't matter that they are lower on all values than other E.U. countries.
The E.U. banned Snus years ago out of hysteria that did not hold up. The facts show and have always shown that they are full of shit. But they still wont back down, they are too stubborn to back down. They don't care about reducing risk, they only care about their power even if they are hurting people. And please fact check me, I know I am right about this.

again, I say don't do it, it is bad for you. But there is a reason even the USDA has decided to allow certain dipping tobaccos to proclaim themselves as less harmful than cigarettes. And snus has a history that shows it is less harmful than than the others. Again, check the reality for yourself. I in no way think someone should take up tobacco if they are not already a user. And if they are a user, quit, that is my advice.

i got a signed picture of Walt Garrison from some boat show or something. I recall Happy Days, Skoal, and Copenhagen. I think Garrison was the Skoal guy. At one point, Earl Campbell was the Copenhagen guy. If you grew up in Texas, Copenhagen was the only cool thing to do. I knew guys that would carry a Kiwi polish can in their back pocket, just to get that infamous wring in their pants.

My dad smoked a pipe. I gave it a try when I got older and didn't care for it.
A few years ago, I was walking down the street and a guy was ahead of me smoking a pipe. The familiar smell brought back some memories. I walked up to him, excuse myself and asked him what tobacco he was smoking. He at first thought I was going to complain.
What he was smoking was Mixture No 79....

Borzoi judging at Westminster is at noon Eastern for Miss Delilah. We're cautiously optimistic, as the judge has had her and given her a specialty win and a Hound Group 1.
For all the supposed prestige around Westminster, the Borzoi entry is 16. The entry at the BCOA National Specialty that Lila a couple of weeks ago was 362, including pretty much all today's Westminster entry. A national specialty win isn't publicized as much, but winning one is the real jewel in the crown.

This happens more often than you would believe, and it's normally women. Drives my wife up a wall, she doesn't like the smell, but many, many other women do. And with all of them, it's because their dad or granddad smoked a pipe. The olfactory sense has a powerful connection to memory.
Anyway, I started smoking a pipe in Bosnia many years ago, I had been smoking cigars, and there was a First Sergeant there who smoked a pipe. He pointed out, I was spending several dollars a stick, and a quality bowl of pipe tobacco costs about .40 cents. That's still true for the most part, all of these do-gooder tax nazi's have pretty much left pipe tobacco alone.

I am not a big pipe smoker, but I do have all the acoutrements. I have my grand father's pipes, they have to be sixty or seventy years old. I haven't done it in a while but I do like the ritual of the thing. You can't rush a pipe, there are rituals you have to got through, learning a bit at a time. i do cherish my IM Conorna pipe lighter. Even if you give up on pipes, that is something you can use forever. you can use them for cigars or really anything. They come from Japan, and to be honest, at least back in the day, they were made to last forever. I can't think of a lighter i would prefer to that one. And it is designed for pipes.

Personally I prefer the legit Swedish snus. But like I said, if you don't use tobacco, every day is the worst day to start. it does aggrivate me a bit that most people think chew is worse for your mouth and throat than cigs, when every bit of science has shown that is false over many decades.
None of it is good, not doubt there. But it is annoying people cling to stuff that makes them feel ok. Of course smokless has to be worse for your mouth and throat, because cigs are worse for your lungs. No, wrong, try again, it is simply false. Cigs are worse in all areas.

I think pretty much everywhere the taxes on cigarettes are too much of a cash cow to let go. I mean, they're highly addictive, they cause cancer, lawmakers ban smoking them pretty much everywhere, and tax the hell out of them (seriously, is there any product more heavily taxed?). Yet, they won't just outright ban them.

Police and prosecutors in the country are now probing the find after the unidentified resident spotted some 12 human skulls and a number of other human bones along a bank of the Sola river, ABC News reported.
The gruesome discovery was made near the southern Polish town of Oswiecim when water levels of the river had run low, according to the report.
Police are probing if the remains are linked to the death camp, but a spokesperson for the Auschwitz Museum told ABC Friday that they were discovered outside of its perimeter.
More than a million people were killed at the camp during WWII, which was constructed by the Germans during The Holocaust.
Most of the people murdered at Auschwitz during the Holocaust were European Jews, but Russian soldiers, gypsies, German dissidents and others were also killed there by Adolf Hitlers troops.

pipe tobacco is way cheaper than premium cigars. it is a cheaper hobby by far unless you get into collecting pipes. A sad thing about pipe tobacco though. Most of these guys who do "English Blends" use famous tobaccos from around the world and don't go for using flavors, aka aromatics. To each there own there.
But the English blend guys got in a real bind a few years ago. They couldn't be sure to source real Perique, a tobacco that used to come from a couple of farms in LA. And also, real Latakia, a tobacco that came from Syria. There was a a time when the Syrian product seemed dead and it still is to this day, it will never be the same. Same with Perique, they changed the rules so more farmers can grow it. Is it the same? You tell me. Something changed and both tobaccos are not what they used to be.

Yeah, I'm not sure telling business owners that they had to ban smoking in their businesses because someone wanted to choose whether or not to visit their business and couldn't allow that to be part of the decision was the most traditionally American thing to do.
It was very much the most modern American thing to do, though.

I belive they are selling Frog Morton for a c note a tin on Ebay. I was out of that life a while and asked a tobacco guy about Frog Morton He laughed but was kind, because he knew me and knew I had been out it for a while.

He should be. The AZ Senate is standing firm and telling the DOJ to stay in their lane.
They have the law on their side, they always did. But often states will balk under DOJ threat.
Not this time, I am hoping it is because the AZ Senate President knows what the preliminary findings are, and isn't going to let the DOJ in to muck up the audit.
I've finished a look at what is going on in a lot of states currently, and audit controls are a hot topic.

Meh.
I think smoking is stupid since I get to see the effects on tissue almost every day. Vaping is a healthier choice for your addiction. But, puff away, puff away.
However, that said, you don't have the right to stink up and render unpleasant enclosed spaces such as restaurants or airplanes, etc. That'd be like me loading up on beans and cabbage and limburger cheese and unloading a fart storm in a restaurant or airplane cuz I liked to do that and I have the right dammit!!!11!!!!
Or bring in my pet skunk, Stinky, to unload cuz like the smell of skunk musk after dinner.
More a matter of politeness than law in my opinion. But, the right to stink up enclosed places doesn't get any sympathy from me.

I get what you are saying, but I'm going to have to inject "Slippery Slope". We have gone from "You are killing me with your second hand smoke" to "mask up or you are killing grandma".
The point being, I don't think you want to normalize the Heckler's Veto, or for that matter any situation where a mob can demand cessation of something based merely on "I don't like it".
I think tats, loud colored hair or loud stereos, yoga pants on obese women, straight pipe Harleys, barking dogs, and low mounted high-output lighting should be in public.
If I get others to agree, can we heavily tax and later ban those things?

I remember when a local barbecue chain came in. They banned smoking in the bar. I told them, "this is Virginia, this idea will fail and you will fail". Now mind you, I did not smoke. But the idea of banning smoking in a bar seemed ludicrous. I admit, after a year or so, smoking was banned in all restaurants. They were right there, I was wrong
But there are bars that allow smoking. I don't know the exact rules, they have fans, ventilators, whatever. And people who work there sign off that they want to do it. But make no mistake, there are many places where you can still have a drink and a smoke. If the libs have there way, it will be like Amsterdam "Coffee Houses" but only tobacco will be banned.

I used to be a pipe smoker but quit about 20 years ago. I had a pretty nice collection of high-end pipes: ended up selling them to a guy that had a business in dealing with estate pipes -- turned around and used the money to buy a Browning High Power. Preferred smokes were the old "Balkan Sobranie" and "Red Raparrie" (I liked the latakia blends).

why vape at all, it is stupid. I get it if you are coming off cigarettes. But the entire idea of it makes no sense if you start with vaping. No tobacco enjoyment, no cool factor. You look like a dikfer and there is no good reason to do it. Hey, to each their own. But this is one I have to call foul on. At least people who use cigars, chew, snus, pipes, etc can say they enjoy tobacco. But vaping is getting addicted to something designed to get you addicted. I guess I am missing the allure of charging something with my i phone.

you had me at Hi Power. AFAIK, the pipe tobacco scene has gone down hill. Legit, real companies have called it quits. Sure there are new companies. But they can't remake legit Perique and legit Latakia. Maybe they can come up with something new, but it is not a growing industry. I am planning to get back into it. I respect the ritual and my family heritage. I do know the hobby is tiny and probably wont gain much. Then again, I prefer to not get into things the kool kids think are relevant.

Ackshewallee, the studies show that a significant number of vapers go on to quit as a result of vaping.
I think stripping away all the social signaling and ceremony and cool factor etc allows people to see their addiction clearly. And that's really all cigar, pipe, and cigarette smoking are, is a way to feed the addiction.
How many people would smoke if there was no nicotine zing to it? How many people smoke oak leaves? None, right?

When I was a kid when the Old Man was stationed at the Pentagon (early '70s) after his tour in Viet Nam, the apartment complex we lived in was pretty up-scale. There was a little bar in the main office building and we'd go inside and check the cigarette machine to see if someone had left change. There was beauty salon in our apartment building and we'd go there to buy a Coke.

Lots of exhaust set ups have the pipe discharge directed down or at some angle to the bike centerline. Straight pipes though... a big twin at cruise RPM is pretty audible, and when you're rompin on the throttle to pass, they're very noticeable unless your deaf and even then you can feel it.
Before I got the new bike, the neighbors always knew when the scooter was warming up and I always had to keep the RPM low until I got out of the neighborhood.

I am seeing that. It is weird. I am with you, even when talking to people in the business, they are not exactly pumped up. When the two major blending tobaccos really no longer exist as they once were, that is going to leave a mark. I recall liking the old "Vapers" as in Virginia Perique blends. I realize they changed Perique to allow many more farms to get in on it. I wont' say if that makes it better or worse. Historically, if you allow many more to make your famous product, that is not a good thing. If they allowed all of France to make Champagne, I doubt many would cheer. And regarding Latakia, from what I here, it simple can not be replaced.

The Dems run the same racket in every minority-heavy city. Congress appropriates money for poverty relief, low-income housing, job training, and so on, in Block Grants to a city. A Block Grant is simply a pile of money with no hard spending details. The theory is that local people - not Congress - know best how to spend the money in their city. That is a good theory, if the money is given to honest local officials who truly care about their constituents.
In real-life in Dem cities, the mayor or city council give inflated-cost contracts to their cronies, and find other ways to spread it around to make themselves and their pals rich - while the black and Hispanic neighborhoods keep going downhill no matter how much money Congress appropriates for poverty and minority assistance.
