bless me...

I've spent most of the day sneezing, pollen's in the air. While at Duane Reade trying to buy some allergy meds I was asked for my ID. The clerk proceeded to write down all my info, date-of-birth, address, ID numbers etc in a book clearly marked "Federal Pseudoephedrine Purchase Log". Now the government keeps track of who's buying allergy meds, since Pseudoephedrine can be converted into meth. But mentioning the idea of keeping track of gun sales in this country is a total no-no. Go figure...
