Census Data Project

My brother-in-law forwarded me this link.  It is a project done by the NYT with some fascinating census data mapped over the entire U.S.  I spent over an hour looking up different locations and data.  Take look when you get a chance.

Update

I feel bad that I haven't posted in long time. I just finished the Fall 2010 term in school and was surprised to have made all A's.  This next term will be the last of formal classes and then I will complete the comprehensive exam in the Spring.  I should be completely done by June of 2011.

Work is going well.  I will be a permanent employee starting tomorrow.  Nothing will really change though.  I will make a little bit more, but will lose some of that because I will start doing furloughs with the rest of the permanent staff. I will be eligible for health insurance and that is a welcome change.  My work duties will be the same and the people I work with will not change.  Its just nice to not have to worry about your job.

Last week, I was released from the Elder's Quorum presidency (1st counselor) and called as the 1st counselor to the new president.  So, not much change there.  Laura stays busy with her RS president calling.  I'm amazed that she can get so much done with two little girls at home and no vehicle most of the time.  Our ward is shrinking due to move outs and inactivity, but we are still alright.  I'm worried for them when we move and a few other families move in the next 6 months or so.  They will lose their 2nd counselor in bishopric, RS president, EQ 1st counselor, and Ward mission leader.  Hopefully we'll get a lot of move-ins soon.
