Starting a boundary survey. Pull the file out, my predecessors already got a bunch of maps.
One of them was done by a Civil Engineer named Boggus, I'm not kidding. It's a Boggus Survey. 😉

There was an engineer up here in Mass with the last name "Goodnough". I was walking along a dam at the Quabbin resevoir and there was a bronze placard for him at the start.

Goodnough reminds me of Goodnow. The Mr. Goodnow of which I speak was President of what is known today as Kansas State University, but way back in the 1800's. The correct pronounciation is Good-No. One of the campus dorms was named after him. It was strictly for females only. Many people mistakenly called it Good-Now Hall. From time to time some clever resident would put up a sign in the large window of her dorm room that read: Good Now, Better Latter.

Off topic, but your new avatar reminds me of reintarnation which is the belief that when you die, you'll come back as a hillbilly.:-)

I've seen lots of Bogus surveys around here. But no Boggus surveys. Hopefully this Boggus character does decent work!
