I wonder what life would have handed us had we followed that path. <BR/><BR/>Here in Quebec, the no smoking by entrances was specifically enacted because of the gauntlet we must run from the street to the building. Some places abide by it, but sadly, most don't seem to.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I have a greyhound and his name is Oscar. He's just about five years old and you're right. Their is something so special about watching these beautiful animals run. He was bred for racing but didn't make the cut by 0.5 of a second. No matter. He's got a couch of his own now.Marijke Vroomen-Durninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436563110710429784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659197563728114440.post-30832886593763263702007-07-01T21:46:00.000-04:002007-07-01T21:46:00.000-04:00New Zealand legislated last year to ban smoking in...New Zealand legislated last year to ban smoking in public places. There was a lot of moaning but it's law now and accepted. I don't think we have it that you can't smoke by the entrance yet. That's where everyone goes to smoke and what a mess on the pavement outside bars and clubs in the morning!<BR/><BR/>I see from your profile that you're a greyhound fan. We have a part-greyhound and he is the fastest dog I've ever seen. Just beautiful to watch running or jumping.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991009842667783101noreply@blogger.com
