I'm the last guy to give anyone static about their name.

Time spent in native country can inoculate me from any surprise I may have when I see an unusual one.?ÿ

But still, when looking at a set of old highway plans I came across this one. Just put your first name in front of the last name.?ÿ

@dave-lindell

According to Google it is a trunk or rumble seat.

I've never heard the term before either.

Run into any "mules" lately?

I been mostly behind my desk, or to be more honest, somewhere underneath the piles of paperwork upon my desk.?ÿ I did make it to the Texas panhandle for some days in the field, during the hottest week of the year.?ÿ So I feel pretty good that I still have lots of surveyor luck running through my veins!
