Never had a one of my TRs (3A, 4, and 6) smoke...
But I love your greetings. Scottish saying?

exhaust smoke................

I spent 5 years at medical school in Edinburgh, Scotland, where New Year is
known as Hogmanay and people do daft things like "first footing" - knock on
the door of a stranger's house and offer him a piece of coal. Tradition
dictates the owner will decline the coal, but instead offer you a drink of
Scotch - either neat or with a little water.
Also in Edinburgh there is an intersection of two streets - The Royal Mile
and the Bridges, where young women traditionally kiss police officers at
midnight. I have never seen so many cops: of course, many, like me, were
students who just happened to have police costumes......
Happy Hogmanay to all. And, as the Irish say - slainte (cheers !)
