I did have someone from the census come by my house the other day.  They
had a PDA and typed my answers to a few quick questions.  I think they
verified my address and made sure that mine was the only dwelling on the
property.  I wonder if there was a GPS in the PDA that verified
coordinates while they were on my porch.
