What's the noun for "obtain"? I want to make a bullet entry in a status report that has things like "Completion of XYZ" and "Creation of ABC" in it, and I'm blanking on how to say I've obtained hardware in the same grammatical format.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think, too, that fireworks are (at least now) illegal to use in New Hampshire. You can just sell/buy them there. Dirty dirty dirty Cow Hampshire.
Those kind of bizarro contradictions, and the highway robbery toll on 95, are why NH is on the list. Is there any way we can shift Vermont and New Hampshire? I like Vermont, and that would make it much easier to get to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now I'm wondering what the penalty is for driving a lawn tractor while drunk and firing guns into the air....

I second that, Frank.
The tolls on I-95 cheese me off. I'm in the stupid state for what, about 10 or 15 miles between MA and ME?
I don't want their stinking EZ-Pass, either. I don't make enough trips to make it worth my effort. We used to buy the tokens, which you got for 50 cents on the dollar. That is, a five dollar roll of tokens paid ten (U.S. cash) dollars worth of tolls. They phased them out when they adopted EZ-Pass (which I think only gives you a 25 cent break, overall, and you might have to purchase the thingie, first). I think I still have some tokens.

I broke down and got one (when I had a car - I will reactivate when I have my new one) because it now works for the tolls in Maine as well (and I do make the occasional foray down 90, and will do a lot more so when I'm with wheels again).

Oh, and don't get me started on the Presidential primary hoopla. Ugh. Must get offline. I'm contemptuous over imaginary lines dividing land.
