why is the forest on fire?

there was an incident involving emptying our excess tiki lamp fluid into the firepit as we were getting ready to leave, and also being in the habit of flinging our burning cigarette butts into the firepit, tied together by the fact that i decided to have one final cigarette before driving off. you do the math.

i thought you quit smoking?

anyway, welcome back. did you live off the fat of the land?

i did "quit" some months ago, but i still smoked every other weekend or so, out of this determination to not be one of those people who can never touch a cigarette again (i think avi said he falls into this category). but it got to the point where i wouldn't smoke for a week, and then have a cigarette, and it tasted crappy and made me feel crappy. so i dunno if that's going to work.

so i decided i would smoke like a madman during my camping vacation and then take a pretty extended break after that. today's the last day of "vacation" and i'm pretty ready to give that shit a nice long hiatus. blech.

i lived off the fat of the Hannaford's fifteen minutes' drive away, with the help of three coolers--a meat cooler, a jars-and-veggies cooler, and a drinks cooler. we didn't even eat the fish we caught!
