I never thought about it as "tracking." But, I do seem to get the long- form and twice have had the "interview." Come to think of it as a kid the family was interviewed also. Maybe it is the answers we give on the long form. Its rather fun. I would like to Make Some Questions for the next census in eleven years ( I understand they need to be submitted soon.)

How many times did you have candlelight dinners in the past year? - restaurants, blackouts, birthday cakes do not count.

In the interest of making a smaller "carbon footprint" on the planet earth - would you be willing to use washable corncobs in place of toilet tissue? May we leave you with a dozen and have you report back next census?

If you have an automobile - at what pressure do you run your tires?
If you have a bicycle - at what pressure do you run your tires?
If you have a pressure cooker - at what pressure do you cook split-pea-soup?

Yes - I would like to work for the Census.

Sincerely,
