Smoking Ban

There has been a very interesting ban put on in London. There is no more smoking in any public places (this is extreme for London, everywhere was smokey). It has been interesting to watch the reactions. Somebody at a Pub last night started going crazy saying that next they were going to ban Jews, Blacks (not the term used, edited for the viewers), and Arabs. He said the smoking ban was infringing on his rights, and that it was "Puritanical" and "Fascist". Interesting points that he made. Also, it is extremely interesting that he would make these comments. The out lash in Arizona didn't seem to be as harsh.

The fines are only £50 if caught, which doesn't seem to be that harsh on London standards. Interesting to travel back here and comment on the change 1 month, 1 year, or 5+ years from now!

Here is a link to an article about the storm that hit London last night. Pretty crazy. These people would go crazy in a Monsoon. It was nice heavy hail, but not as wild as the Monsoons of the Valley.
