Rain continued overnight and into the morning. Less dense cloud appeared as the afternoon progressed. The wind remained strong with some louder gusts as the weather system moved off shore. We do have another one or two rainy events forecast for the next week.
Along with the household chores done today, I completed the 2021 census form. This time, I got the short form which seems to have very little information that could be used in policy development. Yes. The answers would help to define the demographics of the population in a basic way. Further details might help delve deeper into the situations of the populace and help to fine tune existing or new policy directions. I do understand that the longer form goes to a select group chosen randomly and at a level that would be statistically supported. Perhaps it is just that I enjoy doing surveys. Having designed and analyzed many survey and interview projects, I like reading questions and noting how the potential responses for closed-ended questions have been arranged. I've been known to point out when questions or responses are unclear or incomplete -- as long as there is a space for comments at the end. <smile> If the questions or answers are unclear, then the data will not support the conclusions that were desired by the planners. This task, while short, did break up the afternoon a bit <smile> so it wasn't all negative.
I laughed at the song that came to mind when thinking of the questions and answers today. The lyrics are a bit trippy, but hold one of my favourite lines about asking questions and not getting the answers wanted. The video shows one of the first synthesizers well. It was used in this psychedelic song. Keep safe. Enjoy!
