Hey JohnNYC,
I feel ya Brother.

Sometimes, just get a beer and start walking.
Nope, not enough smoke coming out of that one.
Nope, I can't smell it 20 feet away.
and then......all of a sudden, there it is!

A Cloud!
then some guy, with a long fork in his hand steps out of the cloud.
Then that cloud hits you.

Around my hotel there are Barrel guys every 1/2 block most nights.

Once a guy was trying to pull me over to his grill, but
I noticed a very big cloud erupt across the street from a barrel
when the cook opened it.

The wind was blowing my way and it hit me.

With beer in hand I floated across the road.

He lifted the top again, I pointed to a nice Juicy piece.
He stabbed it,....
and the rest is history.
