There’s a story I heard about a guy who moves into a house and discovers that every morning an old guy shows up on his stoop and lites up a cigarette to enjoy. The new homeowner is not a smoker but lets it slide for a few mornings. Then one morning he decides he’s had enough of this old guy smoking on his stoop so he steps out to talk to him. The old man smoking on his stoop every morning is Kurt Vonnegut.
