(Yes, I ended the title with a preposition) (up this stuff make????)

Earlier this evening I was getting all my notes together for four projects we are tackling tomorrow.?ÿ While making sure I had everything for the Nance survey, I was struck my a thought.?ÿ Not a meteorite, as a former poster claimed to have had happen to him, but, a thought.?ÿ The woman I met with today on a job about 30 miles from the Nance job was a co-worker of mine over 35 years ago.?ÿ That was when she was single.?ÿ Her maiden name was Nance.?ÿ As I chatted with her today, we talked a bit about her family.?ÿ Her husband is one of 10 siblings in his family and she is one of 10 siblings in her family.?ÿ The thought earlier this evening was, "Could she be related to Mr. Nance?"?ÿ It turns out he is her little brother.?ÿ I have not met him, yet.

Two completely unrelated jobs that came to me from very different sources that will be tackled the same day and it turns out the clients are brother and sister.

My humility and humbleness may be near the top of my list of wonderful assets I possess.

What are you waiting for?

Call him up!

Tell him what you told his sister about.

That's all the wordplay I have time for.

Have wrapped up the field work on the jobs for the sister and the brother.?ÿ Coincidentally, drove about 40 miles earlier in the day from wrapping up a job for a fellow who is the brother of the man owning the land adjacent to the land I was surveying for the brother of the sister.?ÿ Did you get that??ÿ And, the brother who is the adjoiner is a former client from when I worked on that same piece of ground that adjoins the one I was surveying for the brother of the sister.?ÿ Not to be confused with the granddaughter of another former client who bought most of the southeast quarter of that section and had me survey it for her last Summer.?ÿ And, the granddaughter's father is an attorney who has had me do several surveys for his clients over the years.

Confused yet?

Confused yet?

The word 'yet' is?ÿnot a preposition. 'Yet' can function as an adverb or as a conjunction, depending on how it's used in a sentence.
