2010 Census

I'm really excited for the 2010 Census forms to arrive in the mail. I think mostly because when I lived in Salt Lake City in 1998, I visited the Geneological Records area of the a church residing in that town which will remain unnamed here. Anyway, I found a listing of my grandmother, when she was six, living with her mother and her grandparents. Amazing! The scripted hand it was written in was beautiful. And I just imagined real people visiting real homes filling out these forms, probably over cups of coffee! Crazy. We've come a long way, baby.

Anyway, your forms are coming in the mail. Fill them out. It's cool.
