Like others, I do not smoke in my house. I go out on the deck. I have smoked there in all sorts of extremes: hot, cold, rain, snow, wind, big wind, you name it.
But now that I am older, my bones and joints do not take so kindly to the wet and cold. Dry and hot are fine. If it is too hot, I just get my trusty floor fan and put it next to me.
These past couple of winters, though, I have not smoked at all. My joints just can't take the strain.
I sit inside, looking out the windows, and pining for warmer weather. I have tried my garage. But even with a heater, it is too cold and damp. I have a dehumidifier going in the garage, but I think my joints are a better judge of the wet than the dehumidifier.
So, as it begins to cool here in the Southland, I know that, like the seasons, my smoking is going to change. I spend the winter time cleaning my pipes, and dreaming of warmer weather on my deck.
Alas.
