Coincidence that Frank and I both had significant figure issues today.

I am involved with the restoration of tidal flats and salt marsh that was altered by the home owner.

He had to hire a scientist. The scientists' crack team of GIS experts provided me a list of the areas of the historical limits of the salt marsh based on the digitization of available aerial photography to the nearest hundredth of a square foot. I threatened him with bringing in my High School science teacher to give her annoying lecture on 'Sig Figs'. She has a lisp so its was a tough lecture to make it through and she had an abbreviated speech for anyone who needed a painful reminder.


He would have likely gotten away with it if it were not for getting stuck in the muck.

A determined fellow can get a good amount done during a superbowl halftime show.

Ya, but 24 hours of tides would reverse that quickly.

Skid steers do get a lot of work done.
I 'd actually rather use one to clear brush over a back hoe if I had the choice.
