Happy Drinkin Day

Being half Irish half German I never need an excuse to have a couple drinks, but I'll never turn one down either. Plans for the wearin' of the green? Well, no dates on the horizon so tonight it's drinks with friends. It's always safer to get drunk around thoose you trust anyway. Nothing sets a good first impression like getting hammered on a first date. Plus, I know that I'll get home safe, not get taken advantage of, and I can make a complete ass out of myself. One downside to all of this planned drinking; I have to work tomorrow morning. Oh,well. As you can tell I really don't plan on letting that get in my way.

Big news here in Colorado is the smoking ban. It passed Senate last night, now our esteemed Governor will sign the bill and Colorado will be smoke free. There are only a few exceptions- casinos, cigar stores, tobacco shops, and the smoking lounge at DIA. All of this should go into effect July 1 and make Colorado the 18th state to have such law. Just another example of big government impossing their beliefs on us all. I've heard both sides to the argument. I side with the smokers for a few reasons. They have smoke free restaurants and bars, if you don't like the smoke go there. For the workers it's the same. This is the land of the free. Free will, freedom to choose. You can choose not to go/work at a smokey bar or restaurant. Smokers should just as easily be able to choose to have a cigarette. I really like Colorado, but it's getting more and more conservative. For me it's a slow death by suffocation.
