That's a great sighting, and thanks UL for sharing that here! I wish I could get lucky and have sightings like that much more often, rather than run into ones like that at rare times.

: This is what I'd call a
: gift sighting,
: especially given my
: fondness for older
: smokers. I was going
: into the convenience
: store for my morning
: coffee, and as I
: approached the door a
: 45-50ish lady was
: exiting the store. I
: guess it must be a
: lifetime of observing,
: but my SMOKER! alarm
: went off bigtime. She
: had very short (almost
: crewcut) light blond
: hair, stylishly business
: dressed. But mainly that
: "smoker look"
: I love, even though I'm
: not sure I can describe
: it--hardened features,
: deep-set eyes (know what
: I mean?).
:
: Anyway, I quickly think
: to myself, too bad, I
: guess I won't get to see
: her smoke, and pretty
: much forget about it as
: I go in and get coffee.
:
: So, I come out and head
: to the car and, lo and
: behold, she hasn't left
: yet and she's parked
: right next to me,
: sitting in the drivers
: seat, talking on the
: phone and smoking a
: Marlboro 100 (I was
: close enough to spot the
: gold stripes on the cork
: tip) with all window
: rolled up! She finishes
: her phone call and then
: dangles her cigarette as
: she messes with papers
: or something in the car.
: Then she gets out,
: cigarette still in her
: lips and walks to the
: back and opens the
: tailgate to deal with
: whatever's in the back
: of the vehicle,
: cigarette still in her
: lips all the time.
:
: About then I need to get
: going, thinking to
: myself what a great
: day-starter that was!
