So my Ex has pictures of his mom in her hospital bed after delivering him, with an ashtray full of butts on the bedside table and her holding him, her newborn. She was kind of a small woman and the doctor told her when she was pregnant to keep smoking because he didn’t want the baby to gain too much weight and get to big for her to carry/ deliver. WHAT??? Yeah, she told me that. C.R.A.Z.Y. It’s morbidly fascinating really, the history of what was known/believed about smoking cigarettes. 
We aren’t going back there. We are moving forward and as far as smoking, we are leaving nothing of any value behind. 

Yep, wetsuit, bummer.  Maybe today.  We worked our tails off getting those trees cut down…dead ones and burning.  Plenty left.  I always like seeing the land open up after clearing. Nah leave wetsuit at home unless it can double as evening wear!  Lol!

Man I hear you about questions.  I never seem satisfied with the answers anyway so better to just BE.  Yes, loved the Harvest moon and the Hunters moon shud be fab……in Portugal.  Wow.

I got invited to Grand Funk Railroad next weekend.  GFR.  I will be brave. My bro went to Brooks and Dunn last night at same place in downtown Dallas.  He said no masks so it will probably be like that. Groan.
 

Pups are fabulous and Jackson is howling with the coyote at sunset…hilarious.  Wild boar, huh?  Yuck!  No hogs here yet.  Maybe the ranch owner hired out a team to take them out.  Yes, my neighbor said gas in Switzerland was over 7 a gallon but no doubt they drive those mini cars. 19 days alone.  Heaven.  My bro cannot come this weekend and I will say I am glad!!  Time alone.  Precious.

Love ya sista…Have a wonderful day!!!

You go X!,  Yes, I like the smell of cig smoke but not on clothes, in homes, cars etc.  weird.

Bonfire smoke?  Yes…did much this AM.  The Fall temps….ahhhhhh.  Still heating up but not like it was and as soon as the sun sets almost cold!!  Spa weather I do believe!!

Have a beautiful weekend, sista and stay strong!

Hot as balls in LA right now, but last night was cold! Found my coffee place so that’s good !

more updates later!

Did you move there?

Hot balls???

I’m in the wrong city! 

Oh…like “goodness gracious great balls of fire”

Hot here today too. 84°. 

Still haven’t heard back from friend about beaches. Will text again now. Do you have a car?

I know its nuts. I think to myself though, how did doctors, even if they did not know about the full consequences, think that inhaling smoke can be a good thing? I mean, did you really need the scientists to tell you that inhaling a burning smoke might not be the best thing for your lungs?

So far so good. I like the smell of bonfire too. I will still wash my hair and launder my clothes but it will not be that awful cigarette smoke odor.

I do indeed. a couple of locals recommended beaches, but it also turns out that you can sachet your way into Hotel pools if you look the part. I'm totally trying that tomorrow.

NO WAY! I'm a New Yorker!
