Oh good, moderator approved my post. I'm new here! -- and haven't built up a track record of being reasonable.

I haven't dug into Nanowrimo enough to have a firm opinion. this should change.

Census turned into a "But wait! There's more!" Continuing through October 31, which will give a much better count. And be better for my finances. It should be less grueling going forward, as Washington works on the last 2 or 3 per thousand locations that didn't get enumerated yet -- and is doing more quality control stuff that it had had to triage.

I got a second visit to local Nanowrimo group's forum, and here. Doing things consistently two days in a row! Who knows where this will lead?
