Also, am I the only man left under 70 who smokes a pipe? Anybody else? And I'm not talking about none of that wacky tabacky!!
My great granddaddy used to smoke a pipe when I was real little, he learned it from his father, who was a commercial whaler... I rember my great grandfather telling me stories of the man, always kept a shaved head with a gold hoop in each ear. He was a big, strong man that was known as a "notorious" peacemaker in that, he was quick to "intervene" lol... in any fight. Wish I could have met that man very much. My great grandfather himself, was a mechanic that built custom engines for bootleggers during prohibition... I remember him giving me chewing tobacco in his shop when I was 4 or 5 lol... (sorry for the novel... you just triggered a very old memory thankfully)
... nothin' like the smell of good pipe tobacco... may have to get me some in the near future
