    sightunseen:My girlfriend's place has an awesome deck for smoking. One time, when I was indulging, her neighbor in a townhouse next door came out on her balcony and asked if I could blow the smoke another way because she had her windows open and it was getting in. I told her that I'll try but I can't control which way the wind blows. Idiot thought I was a fcking wizard or something that could control the weather.

    lol, funny. I have a neighbor that is about 2 houses behind me and their freaking dog barks all f'ing day. It's so annoying. I've gone over there before and told them that they need to do something about it and they just said, sure, okay. Haven't yet. It's a freaking yappie small *** dog. Which I really hate as they are ugly and just freaking noisy. Whenever I walk my dog I pass their house and peg the Fer with my airsoft pistol. Yeah it's not a good thing to do but hell, the damn thing needs to be put down. I have a next door neighbor who has called the cops but they don't do ***. It sucks.

    Cigars STINK, How would you like it if I sprayed lacquer all the time and you had to breath toxic lacquer?

    You’re crappy attitude STINKs. Go to a wood working forum and complain about how lacquer stinks and how would they like cigar smoke blown in their face.

    I still remember my first trip to Reno. I walked into Sands smoking, stood in line to check in and was just waiting to be berated...lol. Never happened. It was a great and freeing experience.

    I guess y'all out in Caliphornia have had to deal with repressive government longer than most of us in the rest of the country. It's nice to see Freedom still exists in some places. They're doing their best to rid the world of it, though.

    As a kid, back in the 60's, we heard "California is 20 years ahead of the country" all the time. The mistaken belief was that California was more free. Who'd a believed what was coming?

    It's why I still love visiting Vegas and Reno. A lot of hotels are going smoke free now though. I got yelled at by security last time coming out of the casino and walking through some Bellagio shops. Fkn guy made me put it in a garbage can when the door was about 40 seconds away. I protested and said that is unsafe. Didn't matter. Of course the garbage started smoking...idiot...lol. That's why I love Cosmopolitan, the balconies are a great smoking experience with a view. Cali gets more restrictive each year it seems. I still remember when I could order C&R rifles and cheap ammo right to my front door, cigarettes were $2 and some change, and you could afford your own place and car on a regular everyday job. Boy have things changed.

    I live in a brand new development of homes around 3000 sq ft and up, however they are very close together. When we first moved in I smoked on my front porch and watch podcasts on my iPad, but over time more people stopped to talk and comment on the pleasant aroma. This was fine at first, but became more annoying as they stole my enjoyment and time to enjoy my podcast. I have now poured a new patio and moved out back where I am no longer interrupted.

    Most of my neighbors are mostly older and really enjoy the aroma of cigars.

    A "sober house" moved in next door. (Love that euphemism "sober house", as tho the powers that be put sober people in a house to convince them to drink.) I simply supply this rotating succession of addicts with home-rolled. One of the young men came over to borrow a rake day before yesterday. When he returned it yesterday, I handed him a box full of assorted. Cheap way to keep the peace. In return, they mow my front yard.

    Winter on the way. I expect short days to result in squad cars at midnight and consequently new residents.

    Lotsa tats.

    That won't happen as much as you think in terms of the police being called. They drug test you there and throw you out if you fail. It's hard to get accepted into one of those because there's a shortage. Also the rent is more expensive than it is in an apartment, and the government doesn't pay it, so generally those who want to remain addicts don't go. You'll hear some people yelling at each other though for sure, and it will be a rotating cast of characters as people either relapse and get kicked out, or leave as successes (still mostly the former sadly). If you ever get bored, find the oldest guy there and invite him onto the porch for a cigar, his stories will be worth the smoke (don't let him in the house though at least at first, you never know). I've visited quite a few of those houses because they always have the best AA meetings.

    Dunno how much you think I think is much. It's happened three times since they've been there (six months?). That's not counting a couple of detectives investigating a murder elsewhere. I don't mind 'em, cause I don't intend to sell this house.

    That's more than I'd expect for sure, I was thinking like twice a year. Then again Chicago's police isn't known for it's attention to detail or thoroughness.

    What are you trying to say? I have "lotsa tats". Sweeping generalizations show your age. :)

    Accusing someone of sweeping generalizations because they observe and remark on something that you take part in... you're showing your age. LOL

    Allow me to overanalyze,....... He literally used a sweeping generalization,... "Sweeping generalizations show your age." to argue against another perceived sweeping generalization,.. and he added a smiley face. I'm gonna call that a clever joke.

    There's seven going on eight billion on this rock. Wait a minute; there's 350 million population here in the USA. Hold that thot... there's a million in this peanut state. Gack! There's half a mil in this county. I can do better: there's only 35,000 in this college town. Holy Hell! I just can't find the time before I die to sit down with each and every one of them rascals and suss out what each individual is made of.

    Tell you what, tho: there's sposed to be 1,500 living just in my development. Maybe, if I had only thought to get started thirty years ago, and worked on it incessantly, day after day, I could have psychoanalyzed half of them... but I would have to have kept a tally of who moved out or in.

    That don't work.

    Dudes... Isn't that what generalizations are all about? Don't we learn to make judgements because that's what works? How did we proceed from rocks to Mars probes without generalizations?

    I remember a news story years ago about three four teenagers 4-wheelin thru SoCal desert, encountered a snake on the trail. Stopped to observe. One had apparently been indoctrinated that "sweeping generalizations" are for wicked old farts, reached down all non-judgmental as schidt to pet the thing, just the way Disney would approve. I dunno, you tell me: Did he learn better?

    This judging judgments judgmental is about the dumbest generalization of them all. Make a generalization. Be right. Accept that exceptions do not disprove the rule. I know a guy with no legs. I'm not about to invest in a no leg pants factory.

    Wild young fellers next door. Only half listen when you're trying to have a convo. Yes, tats are common. At least, blue or flame pink hair is not. Body fat is unknown. No, that's not true, cause plump gals toting toddlers do come to visit their baby-daddy. Girls are not allowed in the joint overnight, tho, is their rule. Yeah, they break that rule. Who'd think they wouldn't? They are very open with you about their probs. When their parents come to visit is about as close to over 30 as you ever see. When they cruise in with their stereo booming, it ain't Pablo Casals. One nice young feller has a pickup truck and does remodeling. Says he employs three or four brethren of the place at any given time. The good thing, says he, is he doesn't have to worry whether they will show up... cause he shakes them up out of bed.

    As I say, I don't mind the house, cause I don't intend to sell this place. What if I were the owner across the street, tho, and I did want to sell? Worked all my life to pay off the house, and now I want to retire to North Carolina? "What about the neighbors?" the prospect asks. "Well, this side is a helpful church-going guy does construction whose wife works at a bank, the guy next door on the other side is a music teacher, the guy across from him is maintenance for DuPont, right across from here is a house full of rotating drug addicts sent here on probation, next house is a grumpy old fart smokes cigars..." "Hold on, what!" "Oh. Did I forget to mention the guy two doors down with a lawn mowing business?" "No... what did you say is across the street?"

    The RedHead Who Must Be Obeyed is fearful. Plus, she gets real annoyed when their visitors park in front of our mailbox so the mailman won't deliver.

    Short dreary days coming. I suspect Winter will bring relapses. But that's a sweeping generalization based on combining other sweeping generalizations, so prolly more wicked than woke.
