* fingerprinting *

Today I had an appointment on base to renew my military ID (I know, it sounds cool just to say it). And because I've been an officer for more than two years now (3, to be exact), I am entitled to a permanent ID (rather than the temp one that needs renewal every 2 years). So after posing for a formal, unsmiling picture - which we had to retake because one of my collars were sticking out onto the tunic - holding a little white sign with my name on it (hopefully the closest to a mug shot I'll ever need), on to fingerpaint, er, printing! (for all those shouting bloody murder at those run-on sentences, know that I too recognize their folly) So first it's the right thumb, and all the subsequent fingers on that hand. Onto the left. Each finger was made to roll sideways a bit as I 'printed', to get the full range of marks. Then one more non-rolling thumb print on the right, and a 4-finger print too, then on the left, then... repeat the process two more times!! If it'd been coloured ink, I don't think I'd have mind doing it all day! I hope though, that the LSAT fingerprinting process won't be nearly as extensive, or I'll forget everything I need to know and play instead!

You know who I'm talking about! I found it hilarious that Mr. Harper's PR advisors must have put him in a circular patterned tie to offset the squarishness of, well, the rest of him. Pretty good debate yesterday, though English translation over spoken French was a little hard to follow at times, especially at the 4-person debate segments. Want to hear a little more about everything else besides health care tonight.

Come on, more rain!!! Bring on the thunder and lightning! I'll watch your allegy and pollen report if you do!
