Butts and cells

There are still way too many smokers out there, with all the information available, how can anyone still smoke?

Yesterday, waiting for my wife to come out at her work, probably twenty or so people exited the building. Some walked to the parking lot to get their vehicle, some had to wait for rides, but they all had one thing in common, they all smoked.

One young girl, waiting for a ride, chain smoked, lit her next with her last, and I watched her for about fifteen minutes.

The hardest part of smoking, for them, was lighting up, with a cell phone in their hand. They all, with the exception of one older man, had cell phones in their hands. Out the door, make a call, after lighting a cigarette.

Essentials for young people now, cigarettes, blue jeans, thongs and cell phones.

I am still in awe of all those young people, applying for jobs, in jeans, t-shirts and thongs, then, getting hired, and going to work in their blue jeans, t-shirts and thongs.

I was taught to shower and clean up just to get a haircut. How things change.
