[Leica] Ten years

>From all I can gather nicotine and tar are the only things which kill ya
faster than alcohol. So you're doing yourself a favor.

As Redd Fox said:
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of
nothing.

Both my parents died way way early as a result of cigarettes. Just saying...
I can live without being anywhere around that. I'm just back from a walk in
Riverside Park which is my park and I didn't have to breath any cigarette
smoke. Poor me. The cars will have to hit me crossing the street.
