Seriously.

I have actually been thinking I should start driving to work instead of riding the commuter bus. I do not want to get caught downtown needing to get out and no means of transpo.

I can’t even believe I’m thinking such things. The world is upside down.

And I *must* get my carry permit! I need to take the class - that’s all I need to file the paperwork..... Finding time is like trying to find BO’s real birth certificate.

Well, the economy may be in the toilet with no sign of improvement,
and my shop may be housing more crickets than work orders,
but at least I'm out in the country with only a 6' commute to visit 'em   ;-)

'Upside down' is right, ma'am.
Here's at least one FReeper who hopes you'll make the time for that class/permit.
Your thinking is also sound re driving, imho.

Class?

What 'class'?

Move to INDIANA!

We don't need no steenkin' CLASSES!!!
