Sixty-One Weeks & Still -- Living Smoke Free! 
**Blogger's Note:
Attached are photos from my latest road trip.

d) The Falls at Night

During my most recent journey I spent a long time in the car, driving round trip to Rochester, NY., Niagara Falls, both America and Canada. During my car time, if I'm not smoking a few packs of cigarettes along the way, what am I supposed to do?
Mathematics Calisthenics, of course!
**Blogger's Second Note:
Below math is based on these two variables. a) I used to go into the store and buy one pack of 'good' smokes and one pack of the 'cheap sh**' (the employees were in the habit of asking me: "One pack of each?") then alternate between smoking a premium and a cheap azz one ...
and b) This cost estimate is pre Obama Cigarette Tax Hike.
14 Months Living Smoke Free equals 61 Smokeless Weeks; that’s 427 days of NOT smoking!
At approximately 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes each day it would seem I have thus far NOT smoked 12,810 cigarettes - Let me type that out for effect:

Twelve Thousand, Eight-Hundred, Ten Cigarettes!
(One More Note: Notice you don’t put an “and” in whole numbers when you type them out – just in case you were wondering)!With the estimated cost at the time of my quitting of right around $8.00 a day, I have saved myself: $3,416.00 –
Again, spelling it all out:
Nearly Thirty-Five Hundred Dollars!
I can’t speak for everyone, but in my world that’s alotta lettuce!
I’ve written once of the ‘residual’ cost savings from kicking the habit – all the savings in addition to merely the cost of the cigarettes – I will have to revisit that topic again soon. But for today, as I continue Living Smoke Free, let me summarize:
