I have smoked about 31-32 cigarettes in 13.5 hours.

It is still a huge amount of course. But down by a third of what i smoke when I dont pay attention.

I went for a walk around the big block with both dogs: Billy peed a lot but the puppy just walked and pulled.

They both had their light collars on: I love it.

I am back home, reading the French book Le livre de la vie, by Marty Gray. Fabulous real read of human nature. This man saw everything and was so challenged twice for huge reasons in his lifetime. He became a writer after that.After having lost his first biological family to the camps in WW2 and his family as an adult to a fire. His four children and wife died in the fire. After having lived concentration camps as a child. Unbelievably challenging life. He writes the best I have ever read in many decades.
