Only one of the restaurants in the community we live in has a non-smoking section, and the only time I have seen anyone in it is on Sunday at noon, right after the hardline southern Baptist church three blocks away ends its Sunday service. Otherwise, it is empty. I, too, love to walk into the feed store, the hardware store, general store, liquor store, etc and see the owner or clerk puffing away, just like it used to be everywhere in the old days of real personal liberty. Most everyone out here smokes, too-even my dentist.

We haven't been out much since we've gotten heer (no time or money) but it seems most places do offer a non-smoking section - if you ask.

And speaking of smoking - I'm almost out, so I guess this is as good a time as any for me to head out and do my grocery shopping

I haven't done a "major" grocery run since we've been here and so I am taking advantage of the fact that I don't have to have hubby or little one with me. I have got to stock my freezer, it's costing me more to not stock it then it will to stock it. I hate having to hit the store every couple of days just to get something for dinner because I tend to buy stuff I normally wouldn't and it also costs less to keep a full freezer cold than to keep a half empty one cold.

See you all later!!!!
