TMI
Just trying to lighten the conversation a bit. It seemed to be taking an ugly turn. And what could possibly be ugly about a trip to Cozumel for a few days of diving? Getting off the plane, and past the condonazi's makes me forget about a lot of things that on a normal day at home would irritate the crap out of me. Eat, sleep, dive, repeat, the rest of it is just not that important.
The few times that I was on the boat with a smoker, they asked if we minded and did it on the back of the boat. I personally don't mind. As for restaurants, how about let the owner of the restaurant decide? Then you can choose if you want to eat there or not. Do we REALLY need to regulate everything? Really? And for perspective, I think it is far ruder to say, throw your mask or camera in the bucket and smack it into my camera. I get that it could be annoying and rude to light up in a restaurant and blow cigar smoke on someone and all when they are trying to eat, but keep it in perspective. How about those annoying people in Kinta with the girls in the tiras yelling and carrying on at the next table? Oh wait, that was us... skip that last one.... Don, if you want, I don't mind if you smoke around me. It is Mexico right? The baggie with the baking soda freaks me out a little.
Caveat: I would go for a cuban if I knew where I could get a real one for a reasonable price....

dmoore19 Head to Sorisi for that scotch you seek. Well stocked bar and great wood fired pizzas.
America is not at war. The troops are at war. America is at the mall and the all you can eat buffet!

OMG I have bats flying around my porch! I knew we had a colony of Mexican free-tails living in a large, abandoned building nearby, but I have never noticed any flying around lights before. Perhaps the drought has left them with a shortage of mosquitoes and they are being bolder in their insect hunting.I'm sorry; what were we discussing here...?

Could you mail me one of those? We have a few mossies here....
Me, too. I believe that the reason most folks who hate them feel that way is that they were exposed to them as grade school cafeteria food where they were boiled to mush. Gack! I felt the same way about them (and broccoli, too, for the same reason) until I had them lightly steamed and crunchy with a little butter and parmesan cheese. If you can find them early harvested ("baby"), they are even better.
The restaurant smoking ban is a regulation I can live with. Austin tried letting the restaurant owners decide, but they all decided to allow it so as not to exclude smokers and be the only ones who did. Then they tried "smoking sections", which was, as a comedian I heard say once, like having "peeing" and "non peeing" sections in a swimming pool. When they finally passed the ordinance, there was a mild reaction that went away pretty quickly. With bars, the reaction was a little stronger, but that went away as well, and no one's business suffered in the long run because everyone had to make the change.
