Quiting smoking and Blood Pressure

"No one likes a quitter." -- KMS, 1990
"Daddy, your beard stinks." -- Louisa, 2008

So...Chantix.

Interesting stuff.

Fills the receptors in yer brain. The same ones that would normally be filled up by nicotine get filled up by this stuff.

The process is simple: you smoke away. Puff puff. You take a pill in the morning. Puff puff. You do this for three days. Puff puff. After day 4, you go to twice a day, PUFF puff. by day 5, those smokes are kinda tasting bad*, but PUFF PUFF you still need them.

A fine walk in the evening.

I *know* this wasn't SE PDX...well, it *was* for about a block.

One thing I have learned about myself. I am a rubbernecker. I admit it. I love to see a good car wreck (when no one has to go to the hospital.) I love watching the aftermath of a storm. I love the sight of broken trees after a lightning strike. Something about it makes me feel all oogie inside, and that electricity is palpable.

JJ's reponse to TA Barnhart

This is a response crossposted to BlueOregon to a missive by my good friend TA Barnhart.

I am coming in late to the game here, but I wanted to stop and think about my response BEFORE posting random missives.

TA asked:
Do guns build a better community? Does gun ownership make better citizens? How responsible are we to one another owning automatic guns, teflon bullets and enough weaponry to outfit Lithuania? How necessary is it that individuals own guns in order to maintain the militia?

Ok...so here is the deal

I have been harping on Lynn for a while about not having a spot to just write.

I love to write. Sometimes its a hit, sometimes its a waaaaaay-off miss.

I am just gonna chuck this sh** against the wall, and let y'all look at it. If you like, it, comment. :-)
