I'll fill it out though. I'm usually pretty obedient that way. Besides, they use it to allocate resources, so in theory, it's important that I get counted so the schools and stuff get federal money.

I got one of those a few years back.
I said no.
They said I must.
I said make me.
They said it's the law.
I said stuff it.
The regional supervisor said I must.
I said bring it on.

Haven't heard any more.

Don't you see, they need that information, because they sell it.

Now, you could start your own information company and go around asking people these questions. But that would be terribly expensive! Much easier to start with a government entity that already has regional supervisors.

Isn't it going to be more expensive for the government entity? But of course! But they sell that information, so --

Just fill it out like a good citizen.

I caught myself as I was drifting off for my afternoon nap trying to scroll down through the thoughts in my head.

I think that's a bad sign!

I think that's a sign of the times.

For a South American twist on your hot dog, try it with mayonnaise and avocado paste. (Plain guacamole will do, too.)

Just had one of these for the first time in about twelve years. Delicious!

Yesterday I made a Chocolate Peppermint cake which is basically a light chocolate cake with a pepermint creme layer then chocolate icing on top. The problem is that the amount of peppermint creme the recipe calls for is about twice as much as you need. It actually made the cake 'sink' in the middle from the weight, but I didn't notice that till it was cut, so now there's a massive wedge of the creme which makes for a very rich cake.

Lucky it tastes nice.
