Thank you for saying this. We all know that smoking the weed is very bad for you. It fills your lungs with that weed juice and just gums up the tubes. And most cigarettes are a little better but, while they are good for clearing the lungs, have too many additives.

Camels are the way to go. These are just plain good for you, as any doctor will tell you.

Correct. That would be the fourth Geneva Conventions that would outline treatment of non-uniformed combatants. I was holding them to a higher standard than I should have. The term partisan was thrown a lot during the war and the use of non uniformed combatants was usually met as a sign of underhanded warfare and partisans were usually executed on site. The fourth Geneva Conventions have been troublesome in regards to combatants in informal attire and treatment of prisoners of war since then.

Indeed.

The wood paneling ...wow. Ours was a bit lower rent than the paneling I see in your picture ... but to go with it, we had wall-to-wall shag carpet. Literally everywhere except the kitchen and bathrooms. A thick pair of socks in the winter, and the whole house was an experiment in static electricity. Good times.

Thanks for sharing!
