	I have to admit that I literally "breathe a sigh of relief"
	whenever I'm in California and realize "I don't have to ask
	for a table as far as possible from the smoke!*!*!"  Here in
	Houston, some places have a strange idea of how to separate
	smoking from non-smoking...one place has split their dining
	room in half lengthwise so you are never more than one or
	two tables away from the smokers!  The waiter said it was
	so everybody could have an equal chance to be next to the
	live band.  Personally, I'd rather be able to breathe than
	have to shout over C&W to talk to my dinner partner!  Needless
	to say, we haven't been back to that spot.>


	Bon appetit--and here's wishing you clear air to breathe while
	you eat!
