No wonder it's so hard to do research!

This little nugget of humor was in one of our training manuals:

"I am a census takers for the city of Bufflow. Our City has groan very fast in resent years, and now in 1865, it has become a hard and time consuming job to count all the peephill. There are not many that con do this werk, as it is nesessarie to have an ejucashun, wich a lot of pursons still do not have. Anuther atribeart needed for this job is god spelling, for meny of the pephill to be counted can hardle speek inglish, let alon spel there names!"

I can vouch for the above, having indexed over 20,000 names before I left for SLC and looking at censuses almost every day at the library, and I can assure you that when I run across a census with clear handwriting and good spelling I pray for that census taker to have a great reward.

Speaking of Greek (oh, we weren't?), I have pretty much conquered Irfanview and love it, and am now trying to make friends with Soundex. I may manage it -- I still have 10 months left to go. I just don't have the right atribearts for some of these challenges, but thank goodness I have god spelling going for me. And the peephill are great and very helpful.

All is well in Zion.
