At least in my book -
" NO! Why do you want to do that? Do you just have a need to be loved?"
Attributed to Norman Oklahoma and reflects my exact sentiments on giving away old survey plats, field notes and files. Professional courtesy is one thing, but to just be taken advantage of is another.
One of my favorites comes from another Oklahoman...
"Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for."
Will Rogers
Don Rumsfeld could have been talking about surveying:
"There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know".
Um...how does he know that there are unknown unknowns?;-)
It was spot on.
Kinda reminded me of Gunny Hartman (R. Lee Ermie: Full Metal Jacket).."What's the matter with you? Didn't Mommy and Daddy give you enough love?!"
"If Woody had just gone to the police....this would never had happend"
without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible
It is right to give every man his due.
