Just a few quirky notes. As things happen here, we just throw our hands up and say that's the way it is, but thought I would write a bit about all that as this is a sharing site.
On or about December 10, Bob went to the police station in STT- in and of itself, quite an ordeal by the time you drive to the barge, then pay the $50 barge fare and drive thru Stt and pay to park and walk 1/2 mile to the police station and PAY again, some $60 just for the application ,for the renewal for his gun permit blah, blah, blah. You get the idea. After several, and I mean several, phone calls to the fire arms bureau and the police, we finally get the answer today that the gun permit is in order and ready to pick up. Do you think they would have notified us that this is the case - oh, no
I called today to the IRB (Internal Revenue Board) to see if we could get an app. for a new "tax clearance letter), needed to continue any and all businesses and renewed each year,. she told me we could do it on line - great I said. Do we have to submit this to the IRB personally? Well, I don't know any other way, she said. "What about electonically?", I queried. She wasn't sure about that!!
Skinny's was jammed for the Super Bowl and all had a good time. Did you guys participate in any of this madness?
Nathan talked to the head hiring guy at Bisso Marine this past week. He likes Nathan, but told him there was a hiring freeze until early April. At least he will have more time to save money.
no company coming soon as far as we know. We are trying to plan a trip to MI in early April. Would like to see Nathan before he leaves for New Orleans.
hope you guys are all well and "not too cold". speaking of which, the Christmas winds have been quite horrific since the end of Dec. and we are quite fed up. Besides, we have had rain almost every day or night for the last 3 weeks. not supposed to have rain at all during the high season. Changing weather patterns, I guess. I see the NE is having it easy this year!!
Love you all,
