I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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.

I was going to say, I don't think I've seen anything about weapons but could see an insurance issue with guns?
