the census boy came a calling

Well, Trash had his run in with the census boy yesterday. As I was leaving the stead for a stroll over to Wallie, census boy caught up to me. Asked if I lived at the house I came out of. Yup. And as per the constitution there are 2 of us there. He said he might have to report us as refusals (refuseniks). I reminded him that I was not refusing, and that I was only giving him what was COnstitutionally required.. It aint noones dam biz who is there, their identifiers, or what I do. I am sure it is already on records somewhere in their vast databases of info..
Anyhow got up early this morning to tend to the gardening chores.. I sure hope we get some rain. I hate using cistern water (rain and snow melt) this early. I placed a few of the homemade ollas in the soil this last weekend and they appear to be working. They all needed a top off. I think this would also be a great way to add nutrient food (compost tea) as needed.
Anyhow gotta head to Babylon.
