One of the complications of being a US citizen living in Canada is that
I need to get permanent residency status, and there's an awful lot of
paperwork involved. Fortunately, TWU contracted an immigration lawyer
to help me out, but the whole thing is still very confusing to me.
Today I got my fingerprints taken at a local RCMP station; we'll send
them in to the FBI to get a criminal background check. I don't think
anything will turn up! 
I did find it interesting that the fingerprint forms aren't merely the
usual ten finger tips, but also imprints of your four fingers together,
and your thumb, extending down to the 2nd and 1st phalanges.
