Smoking permit? o_O

It was a different time, man!

If you can find a spray can of "Hospiseptic" (depending on your hat color) it will work a very light spray, it kills everything including mold/mildew and as long as the hat is not a super light color it will work, just a very light mist of a spray. I have uese this on one Hat the was a darker silverbelly color and it did not discolor the hat as this spray is clear. This can is from a company TERAND INDUSTRIES, INC. It will kill off anything other than Alien life forms from Saturn! HA! I think I paid about $16.00 for one can, but it is a large sized can and will last a very long time. It works well also to spray inside of shoes, which is important when dealing with Vintage shoes as much as we do here.

Thanks for the tip.

When I was in High School, in the mid-late '70s, we actually had a designated smoking area for the students. You had to get your parents to sign a permission slip to get a smoking permit.


When I was in school in the 80s we had a smoking section. You couldn't have facial hair or your hair couldn't touch you collar, but you could smoke on campus.

My wife and I enjoy a cigar or two together (outside, most of the time) about twice a year (when the kids are away). Might have one with my brother on rare occasions (Texas/OU weekend....hand-rolled at the State Fair). I remember growing up in a house where my dad and my grandfather smoked regularly...lying on the floor watching TV under the haze...that was the early and mid-70s. My mom eventually asked them to take it outside and they did....I'm sure I smelled like smoke to all my friends at school and church whose houses were smoke-free, but not one of them ever said a word. Never smelled it, but I'm sure some of my teachers smelled like smoke...I know there was a smoker's lounge at school. My dad would smoke for months at a time and then just quit for two years (go smokeless - Levi Garrett or Red Man) and then go back. His dad was a pipe smoker. Wish I had his pipes. Just rambling...no political message here, but I do think a business should be able to write its own policies with regard to smoking... I don't have to go in there if I don't like it.
I now have two of my grandad's pipes. My sister sent them to my son! Good times!
