*grins* I brought a lump to mums throat. She heard my Three Musketeers poem and loved it. When I read it to her, she remembered the time I'd had in mind, when we went alien hunting in the middle of the night. Ended up having a delightful hour reminding each other of different things we'd done. Like when we went looking for witches up on Pendle Hill. And getting lost along the lanes round Barrow Bridge and Rivington Pike. *chuckles* Our Kid doing the navigating, and mum gripping the little mini's steering wheel with white knuckles. It was her first car, she'd only learned to drive in her 30s. She'd have been a little younger than I am now. Me in the back of the car with first the one westie then a little later on a second dog was added to the team.

Oh it used to be so exciting. We'd go off, bundled up in our coats with flasks of hot tea. The moon high and bright. Trying to be quiet as we left the house and got into the car, whispering our laughter and giggles. Martin scaring me with witch stories.

There are times I miss those days with a physical force. That little mini-clubman estate, with its rust and its rattle, and the dogs barking at nothing; and mum and martin arguing about which turn to take, and me talking (always talking, I never shut up as a kid), leaning forward in my seat. The tea from the flask, so hot it burned your throat, but in a good way, a satisfying way. That's home. That feeling. Those moments.

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!
