Last Call

To quote Warren Ellis, "Body nazis can eat my smoky fuck".

Initiative 901 passed up here, which means that in thirty days I won't be able to smoke at my tavern, nor anyplace remotely close to being a tavern, or anyplace at all, it would seem. Without fail, every single patron of my tavern that I know smokes, all of the employees smoke, the owners smoke. So how did this happen, exactly? I am actually cool with no smoking in restaurants or coffee shops, but from my experience bars and taverns have always existed as nice little refuges for adults to go into and engage in adult things from drinking tasty adult beverages to smoking to many other things that adults tend to do.

So just who exactly narc'ed us out to mommy?

Aside from that, one of my new hats has not exactly been taken hostage, but is no longer in my control.

And I feel overall pretty damned powerless.
