I’m feeling a little snotty today so I thought I ask what they do in your barn about matching slip seat drivers with smoking and non smoking drivers. Our house, is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, try to match smokers with smokers and nonsmokers with nonsmokers. I think this is all fair and all that when it works out well which is not always the case. Myself I have a leave time the same as another driver going to the same meet he is always a half hour ahead of me. Now the half hour is no big deal as I enjoy riding along with my own celestial self enjoying my own serenity, I’m just saying. Being a smoker I’m matched with a smoker that is a little further down the line and gets back only in time to keep from me complaining thru no fault of his own. I actually like slipping with the old nimrod. And now more to the point this all came about because people complain about second hand smoke and the smell and the ashes and on and on and on. These intolerant souls will stand right up and holler “Don’t let nimrod drive MY truck he smokes and I don’t want no low life smokers in MY truck”. But when their truck goes to the shop or breaks down and it comes down to driving red racer or a smokers truck they have no problem jumping right in that nasty smelling old new truck no matter who smokes in it. I think we need a new rule here. If they don’t want me to smoke in their truck then when they drive my truck they should not not smoke in my truck, problem solved. And if we are going to go a nonsmoking policy then we should ban all tobacco products altogether from the property. No body ever speaks about the problem of second hand chew. I mean it is all about the children right! Chewers are just as bad as any smoker when speaking in general terms. Look at a chewers cb mike, look at the dash or floor. Second hand chew right there. Nasty old cans or cups left in a vehicle second hand chew right there. And spit; they spit any where you might walk and you end up tracking it in where ever you go. And just as with second hand smoke you have to worry about become addicted to second hand chew, it could happen. I could just see some poor bum unable to find butt to smoke and only being able to find a big ol’ hunk of chaw instead, what is a man to do, I mean you got to feed the habit right. I’m just saying it is for the children. I must admit I never seen anyone standing around shivering jonesing for a puff of second smoke. You don’t know about second chew addicts that could be gum or something they are chewing. At our house, a very, very find house, with two cats in the yard, when they put up a new bid with they put a * by your name. I think this is discrimination and a stygmatation as if those poor little stygmies needed more problems being short and all. I mean an * after all it is my *** to risk. And now I hear cell phones are as bad as cigarettes. Are we going to make non cell phone types slip with non cell phone users. No cell phones inside and you must be at least fifteen feet from the exit/entrance before dialing up. And I won’t even go on about the problems caused by second hand cell phone use or how dirty of a habit that can be. I’m just saying.
