So I’m smoking again. I have been for a few weeks. Most (or all) of my friends know. “The Dude” as he is referred to here, also knows. The Dude caught me last week smoking behind the front desk.

Now to me this is saying it’s ok to smoke. It’s just as good as if The Dude himself said “smoke em, if you got em.” Because I don’t want to imply that the hotel’s management are idiots. So instead I give them the benefit of the doubt that they knew any how.

Nothing was said to me along the lines of “hey no smoking back there.” Not that I would stop. I have the image that I do what I want anyway, so why quit?
