[Chat] Smoking ban passed!

[Emil Volcheck]

Linda,

Kathleen and I went to The Haven for an event for Mary
and we rather enjoyed it, but the smoke was just awful.
It seemed there was more smoke the later it got.  I think
we would go back if there were not smoke.

One time my parents and sister visited us, and we thought
we'd take them duckpin bowling at the Seidel lanes.
But when we got there, my sister turned around and went
back out because of the smoke.  I guess we'd gotten used
to having to tolerate some smoke to go bowling.  It will
sure be nice not to have to put up with that again.
We went to a Duck and Roll ( http://www.rootscafe.org/ )
once and the smoke was pretty bad.

Maybe if we're lucky, some establishments will see the
writing on the wall and start going smoke-free before
January 1, 2008.

Is anybody else disappointed that Jack Young voted
against the ban?
