@MauraJudkis Stay safe in the water. I surf at Assateague and rip currents are a serious hazard. Neck injuries are common in OC b/c of the strong shore break. And, I was on antibiotics last summer after a shark bit my foot!

Why does Census accuracy matter? https://t.co/YjI0DKQTXx

@allthingscensus @pewresearch @pewidentity Congratulations! 🥂
