It must have been a wonderful experience to have a neighbor who drank an occasional ale-beer, stood on his porch to wave at you, and smoked a famous cigarettes that didn't matter which end you lit?

It makes me sad to hear of his passing. But he's at rest and will be "Wherever Particular People Congregate." Smokin'!

It was interesting to read a syndicated piece somewhere else about his last ant-war comments. He spoke about oil addiction and his PALL MALL habit. He was human. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem NC's should say, "Thank You For Choosing PALL MALL." A famous cigarette and a respected man. Yes.

"Wherever Particular People Congregate." A PALL MALL famous cigarette slogan -- The reason this is a sort of 'silly' cig-focus for me is: When sundry packs where distributed on log day in mortal combat, those nasty smokes got thrown my way. Chew tobacky was given to a factory worker's son from Detroit. Yuck, when he's 'spit' out a glob of that on a jungle floor.

A Chicago veteran, we called, "Smitty" looked me up, I'm guessing, a dozen years after the war and brought me a pack of PALL MALL. It was a kind gesture, and I'm tempted to smoke one on the nighttime porch? You can light either end of those 'Famous Cigarettes,' and you can thank "Smitty" and Kurt...because on the red-pack it states...

IN HOC SIGNO VINCES...At 58, or if we are in our 80's...We ought to believe we are old enough to light up either end?

When those neocons at those hack-gag-pep-Rawley's for bloody wars continuations ask me, "Hey, buster, got a light-match?"

I think, wish I did, but ask the gang of 'Occupants Rodents' scampering 'round their burnt-to-crispy black-souls...in DC.

I muse, "ask those damn arses THERE. 'Um brown nose-snow sniffers...Arses Matches Your Face." Look? No.

Honest. "Why?" THAT not nice. It is so. That NOT a profane, 'butt' it's a rather Holy Smoke expression.

THE MASS MURDER they plan each day ain't nice.

THEM Bad DC 'Folk' Congregation. The Surgeon General ought to put a WARNING: 'um walking emphysema, a cancer, a bad leaven, a heart diseased, a fatty liver rot, and ALSO the cause of much unnecessary suffering and premature DEATH. No inhale a word they say, and IMHO, they have CAMEL breath.

No smoke commercial brands. There are some smack-lip, home-grown legal plant forms, that make ya grounded in essence that had all honest Indian wondering why (?), "White Man got PALL PALE KILL MALL LOOK!" Invite them to our tp? "Too late."

What ruin some 'folk' can wield with vain aspiration and want of unsatisfying money and false power. In so few years....What horrible esteem!

Smokers like Kurt are immortal. They go on beyond death, and lives with us non, or Holy Smoke congregations, forever. Perennials and eternal, and annuals...good-plants, grounded, earthen, and give us health and Hope! Thank Nature for the various healthy Kurt's.
