Census Daze--Almost Gone

Census Daze--it's certainly occupied my summer.  It's coming to an end and my life (and blog) are beginning to return.

Census 2010 has been a long and involved process.  From the inside the beginning and the (near) ending have much in common.

Hopefully the Census will have sufficient data for the next 10 years to do effective planning for Medicare, schools, roads, members of Congress, etc.

The U.S. Constitution requires a Census every ten years.  The questions asked on the Census are approved by congress and become the "as approved by law" part of the Constitution.

Census workers agree not to divulge information they gathered while working for the Census.  This is why you won't see many blog posts with lots of detail.

I'm already thinking of other areas--Flu Vaccine for 2010 (I had mine on August 10th at a local Walgreens), for example.

More soon.
