The Smoke

 I watch news clips a good bit.   So yesterday...came this 2-minute clip....Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen standing there after getting out of the limo....enjoying a cigarette together with Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt 20 minutes before their meeting with with Vance and Rubio in Washington.

With the 20 years of service time....the one thing I always got to note....when folks were hyped-up and stressed....right before the 'peak'...they'd step outside and take a 5-minute smoke break.

In some ways, I was always impressed how a 5-minute smoke chilled out folks, and set a more calm nature.

Frankly, if I had to go and sit with Vance/Rubio for an hour....yeah, I'd probably require two smokes.
