I passed a fellow a little while ago who was sitting outside on a wall, smoking a cigarette. Never having been one to partake in this activity, I almost always have one thought come to mind when I first see this:
That looks sad.
I'm sure it's the solitude of the event, a man and his cigarette. It's such a lonely looking moment, at least from my standpoint.
I wonder how common that reaction is among nonsmokers?



Additionally, when I'm having trouble figuring out why my programming code is not working as intended, a moment away having a smoke while pondering the problem often presents me with the answer to my conundrum.
