Dang, I still wasn't done with everything. I had to take out the Trash. I started hauling out the garbage and luckily remembered that bag that was In Our Uh... oh, I remember now it was in the Safe. That was a strange place to store it. As I took out the last bag, I saw that one bird that hangs around our house all the time, he's very regal looking and the feathers on his head oddly stick up making him look like he has a Mr. T style mo-hawk. We call him, Sir Wren T. There are a lot more wrens around the house these days ever since we bought a bunch of birdhouses from the odd woman down the street who always refers to herself in the plural. Yeah, I sure do like Our Miss Us Wren Holds.
Oh, there was one more thing, I needed to put out of those corn ears on the squirrel feeders. We get those from another woman down the street so we always call them our Jane Cobs. She's a really important figure around here that seems to run everything, sometimes we say it's Jane's Town.
Finally, I got in the car and was off to work. Wow, the radio reception was bad as I drove into the local service station to top off the tank. Only wouldn't you know it, they were Out Of Gas. Well at least I could stop to adjust my Aerial. I got back in and decided to get gas after work. I didn't have time to go someplace else since I had an important meeting with LorenZo E. Walker. He's sort of a lazy guy who dresses very casually most of the time. That guy had really Schlep Hard. I drove over the River and by that area of land the city has taken over to make room for the new military surplus place that's planned to go in, the War Store Easement.
When I passed the nursing home I noticed they were doing camel races for the residents and it was such a sight that I had to slow down to watch a caMel Come Run Olds.
I finally got to the office and I saw the last strange thing of the morning. There was a street performer juggling flaming torches right outside the door. Boy he could really make that Fire Fly.
LIBRARIAN WARRIORS (and other statistically interested parties), I need to know where to look to find out the density of homes within street-bound parameters in DC.
The census tells us total households, but I need to break the number down into neighborhoods.
Where can I find this information, please?
Yeah, that was me, too. I made my own bedtime and woke up super early, but wasn't allowed into my parents' room until the alarm went off at 7. I would amuse myself in my room for hours. I do sort of wonder if being able to amuse oneself is an only child thing. A well-raised only child thing, at least. Or our parents were just lucky!
I had a bedtime of 8 pm, but I just went upstairs and sat at the top of the stairs quietly listening to TV if I did not want to sleep, and no one bothered me
bonny, you should be able to get census info by tract, right? Then you can add up the tracts into neighborhoods? (It's been a long time since I've used census data for anything.)
Twenty-Two puns. My work is done today.
Wow. That was impressive, Gud.
There was an article on HuffPo recently about how American parents are Doing It All Wrong because Korean children eat their vegetables and don't snack in between meals, and French children have perfect manners, and Finnish children have more recess time, and Japanese children cosleep until age 10. And was it the Swedes who let their 5 year-olds play with knives?
