We have to back our mayor in her latest venture. Her honor, Vivian Jones, has entered into a big bet with John Bryne, the Wake Forest native who strayed from home, hailed up in Fuquay-Varina and appears to be headed for mayor for life in that little burg.
The bet is about which town, Wake Forest or Fuquay, can get the most residents to complete their very easy 2020 Census questionnaires.
The payoffs are fierce. The winner gets to wear the other’s town gimme cap and the loser buys the other lunch.
Right now Wake Forest holds a narrow lead – 65.7 percent completion versus 64 percent for Fuquay-Varina.
Find your Census mailing or go online to 2020Census.gov and fill out the information about your household. It will take only 10-15 minutes, you do not have to give any names, just information about age, sex, education.
Make our mayor the winner she is!

I have to apologize. I have not reported the building permits for March and now for April. I would except I have been suffering from severe pain in my right shoulder running down my right arm which interferes with my typing.
Since what I have is not broken or bleeding it has been difficult to get treatment, a journey through my regular doctor (telephone visit), referral to my orthopedist who treats only hips and knees with a subsequent referral to a shoulder specialist with a June 1 appointment. My latest attempt was to my spine surgeon who probably will see the real me but can only treat it if the pain comes from my neck/spine.
I will try to see if I can do at least one of the building permit reports over the weekend.
Meanwhile, please all stay safe, stay in as much as possible, wash your hands, kiss your roommate/husband/wife/significant other and any children. This all will pass.
