What? Me Worry?

-

 I wrote yesterday about the collapse of civilization as we know it, saying researchers are giving us about twenty years.  Then I read of a man who had a near death experience and didn't notice any bright lights or anything unusual, but from the experience he learned resiliency.  Now, I am sure most of you are asking me what these two have to do with each other.  Actueally quite a bit.  

I'm not worried smoking my pipe will harm me, but there might be those who will insist I am polluting the air and some say my pipe will kill me.  I say to those who are worried my pipe will kill me, balderdash!  My pipes might be adding time to my life by keeping the blood pressure down.  And having faced death twice in the past dozen years, I can attest to the resiliency of fear.  I have none.  Really.  My pipe will not harm me.  I can say this about many things in life, but I have zero fear of death and dying.  None, whatsoever.  

I wrote more about this in a post I had written, but I deleted it thinking it was too morbid.  But, I have no fear of my pipes.  And what little smoke they produce will dissipate with no harm to the atmosphere.  But I'm not worried about the end of society as I said in yesterday's post.  And I have zero fear about the end of my life.  In fact, I can say I have a healthy fear of bears and snakes.  I learned that while living in NY.  

I am smoking my Savinelli St. Nicholas pipe this morning.  I celebrate Christmas year round with this pipe.  I ordered some tobacco yesterday as I was getting low and what I have remaining will last until my new tobacco gets heree.  I am smoking the last of my Good Stuff/Cherry mix.  It's almost gone now.  I ordered some Tropical Export and Autumn Evening and two ounces of Gawith Hoggarth & Co Bosun, which is an Aromatic English Virginia plug kind of tobacco.  It was a recommended tobacco by Smoking Pipes and thought I'd try a couple of ounces.    But I do not fear my pipe will harm me.  I wish I could explain this better.  But I have no fear of death or dying.  So, essentially I fear nothing.  But I don't take risks with my life and never will.  I thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
