A Satirical Look Inside the Smoke-Filled Room

If second-hand smoke filled rooms were as dangerous as some indicate, I would have died before my fifth birthday!

Heck, even vitamin supplements can be hazardous to our health. There are not any laws against taking too many vitamins. Have you not read that unhealthy vitamin levels seems to predispose people to (1) diarrhea, (2) broken bones, (3) uncontrolled bleeding, (4) nerve damage, and (5) poor diet. Some imbibers think that by taking vitamins they can ignore eating a good balanced diet.

Respect for All

Respect is a two-way street. Why cannot non-smokers show more respect? Don’t you think that most smokers have already learned to respect non-smokers?

Politics & Public Relations

The Smoking Dilemma, particularly since the 1980s, has become a political and public relations issue. There has been fear mongering in the media. In California, anti-smoking TV ads are indeed financed…

The long process of rehabilitation of the C.O.D.* Garage in historic downtown Minden has been completed with the conversion to the C.O.D. Casino.  The C.O.D. Casino opened their doors August 14, 2014, at 404 Esmeralda..

“We are excited to open and take care of our new guests in the Carson Valley” says General Manager Scott Tate, “The facility looks great and we were able to retain the historic character of the C.O.D.* Garage, while being able to add all of the comforts of a great casino”

The C.O.D.* Casino offers a wide variety of slot machines, a live Keno game and soon to be added sports wagering venue and Live Poker.

It also has many preserved and restored items from the C.O.D.* Garage, including the tow truck featured in the Casino’s logo, which is the feature piece in a small museum at the rear of the establishment. The museum also…

This screenwriters’ hunger strike began today (Saturday, January 24, 2015) before 7:15 a.m. PST.

In addition, the screenwriter will never set foot in this store ever again, unless . . .

Therefore, these two bissyiness-meddling, “sexy”, gossiping, perhaps overweight, whatever-else, post-menopausal women MUST sell-out all their real estate ownings  – WITHIN 100 YARDS OF THIS BUSINESS –  AND leave this fine community that has probably the best deli, best wine selection, best three owners, best family-oriented business, best weather, best busy traffic, and best customers in the Americas.

Failure to do so will result in guilt, anguish, anxiety, danger, and many negative consequences (that largely will be self-inflicted). Yes, you Kathy. Yes, you Debra Winger character model icon to youth.

The Solstice occurs today at  5:03 pm central standard time.

It hardly seems possible that the sun has finally ended its annual southern journey (with its progressively shorter days) and now turns northward again (with longer days to come).

I wasn’t planning on doing anything special for the Solstice until Friday, when I received an unexpected visit from Mike Dahl and his wife Lindsay, his parents Jon and Carol, and their son Michael who came up to Estrella Vista to invite me for Christmas dinner. Mike, as you may recall, is the now-grown Minnesota high school student who recognized me at the Grub Shack after more than 20 years.

So I invited them to join me tonight for a traditional Solstice bonfire and refreshments. Now there is an added excuse to light the Julleuchter and celebrate.
