OK, So I'm not sure how a census is supposed to be conducted. I haven't actually ever observed one in America so I just don't know. I do know how it works here and it seems a little strange.
Yesterday half of the country decided that they didn't want to partake in the census. Then some other groups decided that if those people weren't going to then they weren't going to either. The national holiday that was declared for tomorrow may or may not be happening...the census may be happening tomorrow or it may be happening in a week (because whatever issues were important enough for half the country to refuse the census will be resolved within a week?)
Seeing as how it's Monday afternoon I'm just wondering when we'll hear if the holiday tomorrow is or is not cancelled. At some point I would like to know if I need to plan a day tomorrow or if I need to plan to stay at home listening for the knock of the lady in the blue baseball cap and vest so that I can watch the expression on her face when I tell her that it's just me and an old Sandbox guy in this big house.
Chances are that, even if tomorrow's holiday is cancelled, word will not have spread and, conveniently, people won't be working. Because let's face it, when you're African and you have an excuse to take a day off and do nothing why wouldn't you?
In other news I had to climb on the roof at 5am last night b/c there was water coming from somewhere and leaking everywhere, so much that it woke me up. 5am. That's the Sandbox my friends.
