As I mentioned before, we spent Sunday at Big Dog's watching the Packers game. One of the topics of conversation was the upcoming election. P&AF and I were the only two non-smokers out of a group of 8 people or so. We were discussing Question 5, which was an Indoor Clean Air Act of sorts. We actually had two smoking bans on the ballot here, but Question 4 was mostly written by casino advocates and a lot more lenient. Question 5 would ban smoking in all establishments that prepare food. I think there are some exceptions, but it is actually pretty strict. Anyway, P&AF and I wanted the bill to pass, so that the Packers bar wouldn't be so smokey.
Our conversation went like this-
P&AF: "So you're all going out to vote "No" on Question 5, right? So you can keep smoking here?"
Smokers: "No, what? That's not going to pass here anyway. That'll never pass in Nevada."
P&AF: "You don't think so?"
Smokers: "Nah, we're not going to vote. We only vote for president."
P&AF: "Perfect."
So, Tuesday rolls around, and we head to the polls to vote. I wake up this morning and QUESTION 5 PASSED!!! Quite the funny joke from my perspective...BUT Question 5 would NEVER pass in Nevada!
