    1. In God's name, WHY? It's such a piddling-assed little creek, you'd have to be a fool to stand in the middle of it. There's a bar in the middle of it, anyway.

  4. Hey, pipe smoking is making a comeback. Fall down the rabbit hole on youtube to see artisans making new pipes (stunning works of art you can hold in your hand) and guys restoring "estate pipes". The comments are full of people "just getting started in the hobby" or "returning to the hobby" after a long time off. Watch a tutorial if you want to join what feels like a very subversive movement... there is more to it than it looks.

    It's cheaper than cigar smoking, and feels less social and more contemplative. The residual smells are generally less strong, and more acceptable to others as an added bonus.

    1. Nick, it may be 'more acceptable'but it's still forcing your presence on others who prefer clean air.

  7. Hope the bears were off somewhere else; those don't look like good running shoes, and the pole isn't going to do much to discourage them if they show an interest.
