Being a surveyor is a generally thankless job as most of us know... I didn't even think that the king of sarcastic electronic "journalism" aka "The Onion" would ever take the time to show us in any light, let alone a featured article. Anyway... they did. Check this out County Surveyor in MD

not particularly humble to me. sounds like a bunch of semi-self aggrandizing poop for the peasants, and i'm not sure that the rip on the previous office holder passes an ethics test. at least he acknowledged that he was helped by straight party votes.

Frank, The Onion is straight up satire and parody. There is nothing serious about it. Go back and read it with a smile on your face. 🙂

there was a smile at times on the first read through, but then i thought about it some and read it again. sorry, in the end it just didn't hit me in the funny bone.

To each their own. I just wanted to make sure that you knew it was humor based. I have posted from another satire site, and had to eat my words.

Sounds a lot like some of the political adds (claims) we can't comment on.;-)

great stuff!.

whereupon fathers turn to their young sons and say in hushed tones, "There goes a man whose ability to record and maintain elevation benchmarks once a year rivals that of Atlas himself. That, son, is a man far better than I."

I am the sort of strong-willed individual who will not fold when verifying all incoming maps for legal and technical adequacy,
