Will They Blend? Amazon S3 meets MS Blob Storage plus Excel

The challenge here is to blend S3 formatted data from the Amazon Cloud with Blob Storage formatted data from the MS Azure Cloud.
As a secondary challenge we want to blend the cloud data with Excel data. Will they blend? The data are is the new downloadable CENSUS data (see link).

We report the average travel time to work vs. English-as-a-foreign-language proficiency and we discover that, if you are a woman, the less you speak English the closer to home your work place is. If we then analyze the size of the statistical sample, we also discover that the average is based on only 31 not English speaker females. Probably not enough to consider the results as reliable. Always maintain a healthy degree of skepticism towards your results!

By the way ... yes they blend!
