The interface allows you to display data from multiple locations in a single graph. Google's data currently shows the unemployment rate for Campbell County as being much lower than the rest of the state and that our population has been steadily growing since 1990.
That Grouse May Carouse

Now, my son is a very entertaining storyteller who occasionally stretches, adding bits and pieces, to make stories more interesting and/or more humorous. I am fully aware of that trait since he learned it from my father, so when David tells me anything that seems just too, too… to be true, I call him on it.
Well yesterday, during a lengthy and chatty phone conversation, David said something which really caught my attention. I mean, really! David was not even telling a story; rather, he was explaining that his roommate had been laid off two weeks ago so did not have the money to pay his share of the rent.
I was surprised to hear of the layoff because both fellows work for a large and solid company.
David continued, "Hundreds of guys are laid off! The oil rigs are shut down! The methane wells are down. The roustabouts are laid off. No trucks or equipment can be out and about. I tell you, Gillette is DEAD for the next couple months or so!"
