No Smoking!


I feel the need to blog about a very important topic.  Bryan informed me the other day that Governor Tim Kaine intends to reintroduce legislation that would ban smoking in eating establishments throughout Virginia...yeehaw!  Governor Kaine introduced this bill last year but it failed when our legislators lost their nerve.  This bill has my full support because I cannot stand the smell of cigarette smoke...especially when I am trying to eat. 

I feel this way not only for me, but for my family as well.  I cringe because I hate the thought that my girls are having to breathe the filthy air.  Having non-smoking areas does not help most of the time.  Just because you are sitting three tables down from the smoking section doesn't mean that you are secluded....you can still smell it and still have to breathe it.  

For those of you who feel the same way, please call or contact your state legislators to urge them to support the smoking ban!  It doesn't hurt people to go outside.  When it's cold, don't be a baby, put a coat on!  Don't subject me and mine to your dangerous habit...it simply ruins the taste of a good steak and tiramisu.  

Bud Phillips can expect my call tomorrow...let me know if you need contact information, I will be happy to send it along.
