The Cigar Life

 Sunday, March 24, 2024 Finished shoveling, ran inside to get another cigar.  I asked Bing to write another story. This time about a man enjoying a cigar in the garage after shoveling,                            Here's the result: "After a long session of shoveling snow, the man retreats to the solace of his garage, a place that feels like a sanctuary away from the biting cold. He leans his snow shovel against the wall, it's blade still dusted with a fine layer of snow, evidence of his labor. With a sense of accomplishment, he reaches for his prized cigar, a ritual that marks the end of his wintry chore."                            "The rich aroma of the cigar fills the garage, a stark contrast to the crisp outdoor air.

Sunday, March 24, 2024 We're finally getting a little snow in what has been a mostly snow deprived season.                             We're supposed to get a lot and it's a wet and heavy snow so I'm trying to keep up with it.

This was the result: "As the man shovels the freshly fallen snow, the chill in the air is temperd by the warmth of the cigar perched between his lips.

 February 2024 Started Febrruary out in Arizona. My first full day there is was 75 degrees and sunny.  The rest off the weekend it got into the 50s and 60s. "Cold" for them but very spring-like for us.  Barely any snow on the ground this month.  Due to above average temperatures nothing ever really accumulated.  It even got into the 60s. Scary but not enough to keep me from taking advantage of it.  Perfect leather jacket weather most of the month. On days it was a little to chilly I'd light up in my upstairs cigar lounge.  Valentine's Day Cigar.
