Just wrapped up a 74 acre farm survey.
It was at least 70% open pasture. While looking out over the land, I asked my young crew to guess how many square feet . One guessed 5 million. Not a bad guess for a newbie. I told them a little over 3 million and then told them to imagine a dollar bill on every square foot of land we had just surveyed. Then I asked them how many dollars per square foot would equal Jeff Bezosƒ??s net worth? They guessed a few thousand...Iƒ??m not sure what I would have guessed but I had already done the math. Over $60,000 per square foot. We stood there a moment and let that sink in.

Fellow called today who needs one side of his 160 acre farm marked.?ÿ The other three sides have county roads along them so the boundary is near the road centerline.?ÿ All they are going to do is build a fence where we mark the line.?ÿ We can arrive, set up and be completely done in under two hours.?ÿ Another 30 minutes and we could confirm the acreage of the entire 160.

I give him credit, He graduated Princeton with a masters degree in CompSci, tore up Wall Street for a while, and had the huge long goal of where he's gotten to now.

Musk too. They are a few of the Ivy League produced real daily world drivers that made a gargantaun long term impact, and they both survived the Dot Bomb, better than almost any of them.

And then there's the sniveling usually waste of spacers that came from there too. Hundreds of thousands of them, and they all use the services and benefit from those two daily.

That being said....Hey Bezos, do a bit more digging.?ÿ Two stolen cell phones in one year from Amazon was really kind of a pain in the keister....?ÿ?ÿ 🙂
