(NB: The ranting and raving was nothing to do with me, but I could not handle it pre-breakfast.)

I am a morning person in the sense that I enjoy the peaceful time of being awake when a lot of other people are not and leaving the TV and radio etc off and sipping a coffee and or doing yoga while the sun rises. I like the same sort of stuff late at night, also, especially standing under a clear sky looking up at the moon/stars/whatever is available and having no actual thoughts in my head.

Could pretty much fall asleep at virtually any time, though, and waking up because I have to be awake is always difficult.

I love a long morning runway!

A question for any 'ffistas who may live in apartments. Does your lease say anything about weapons? This being Utah, I wouldn't be surprised if any of my neighbors are using their spare bedroom for an armory. My lease was explicit on banning pets and smoking, but nary a word on weapons or booze--except they prefer you not wave your identifiable containers around obnoxiously if you're partaking on your balcony on a lovely summer evening.

Are any of your landlords putting weapons policies in your leases?

(There's another kerfuffle about concealed guns vs. open carry etc. in the state legislature, and I got to wondering)

I just decided to save my file full of leases (although not every rider), so I might be able to answer this when I get home!

Looks like the NYC standard lease (several of the leases I left in the file) says no noise, no pets, no satellite tv, rugs are required, but that's about it: [link]

I live in Arkansas; I'm pretty sure anything short of a windowsill-mounted 7.62mm minugun is not only permissible, but looked upon fondly.

Someone earlier mentioned the Captain America shield photographed at one of the events. I came across this:

Amid the masses of strangers gathered to protest at the Boston Women's March, I spotted something familiar: that shield — red, white and blue — a simple design that holds the weight of so much conviction. Captain America's iconic getup caught my eye ...

I haven't rented in a while, but I am kind of remembering some clause about if I had guns I would need my own insurance policy of some kind? Probably in California. I want to say in the same general section that discussed whether a satellite could be mounted, which was more relevant to my life.

To say I'm not a morning person is an epic understatement. Going to bed at 11:30 and falling asleep by 1am is a new, exciting development for me.
