Elbow Room

Today at 8:46, my time, the population clock at the Census Bureau rolled over 300 million people in the U.S. Of course that doesn't mean that is when it actually happened, just an estimation. 200 Million hit in 1967 and there was a big deal made out of it. This time around the big 300 is going quietly as to not stir up talk about illegal immigration.

Of course with the number of cars our neighbors have parked in the road around our house, I suspect a good chunk of that 300 million live there.
