It’s so rainy windy and nasty out right now... it’s dark and not getting lighter.

I wish it was snow, it would at least be pretty to look at. :~\

I hate it when it's like that. Depresses the heck outta me. We're kinda dreary here too, but at least it's not real cold, just damp.

If you want snow, I'll send you some of mine in a box. Refridgerated so it won't melt.

My dad called to tell me that he up a firearms permit request at the police station. I think he might be getting me a spot in a firearms class for Christmas. It's a requirement to get an FIC or an LTC here in MA. I'm Wicked Excited. Getting my LTC has been on my list of Things To Do, but I haven't yet because of the money involved. There's a rediculous amount of red tape involved as well, which is another reason why I've delayed it. I don't know what it's like elsewhere, but I have to:

1) Write a letter to the Chief of Police stating the reason why I'm requesting said LTC.

2) Have 2 reference letters from non relatives.

3) Complete a firearms safety class.

4) And of course, a significant sum of money.
