Census time
Caught on camera!
Me, being a good citizen
Ten easy questions, no studying required.
Standing up (to be counted), just north of Boonsboro,
This is the first time I've ever received a census form. (The Census Bureau let the bean counters in the Army do it for them rather than bother those pesky soldiers, so I never got to fill one out before.) I seemed to remember in 1970 my father had about three pages of questions to answer. I was disappointed they didn't want to know more about me. (Although I guess that's why they invented Facebook.)

Looks like a beautiful day there, indeed!
That fleece looks kinda small on you...
Marianne,
It wasn't that one, smarty-pantz!
