It is not often that you find a pine stake corner in Georgia.?ÿ This is the first one I have ever found in my 30+ years of surveying. I believe it to be a late 1800's vintage.?ÿ Georgia was laid out with these pine stakes, but only a few have survived. This one survived because it was in a peat?ÿbog. Note the concrete monument and how it has deteriorated.?ÿ I was a little winded... Awesome day in the field.?ÿ
I love surveying.?ÿ
Wonderful! ?ÿBrings on quite a special feeling, doesn't it?

That was a very weird feeling.
I'll have you know they conducted a CAT SCAN on my brain way back in 1980 and found nothing.

A woman brought a very limp parrot into a veterinary hospital. As she lay her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the Vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, Polly has passed?ÿ
away."?ÿ
?ÿ?ÿ
The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure? I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."?ÿ
?ÿ?ÿ
The vet rolled his eyes, shrugged, turned and left the room returning a few moments later with beautiful black Labrador. As the bird's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the dead parrot from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.?ÿ
?ÿ?ÿ
The vet led the dog out but returned a few moments later with a cat. The cat jumped up and also sniffed delicately at the ex-bird. The cat sat back, shook its head, meowed and ran out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry; but like I said, your parrot is most definitely, 100% certifiably ...dead."?ÿ
?ÿ?ÿ
He then turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill which he handed to the woman. The parrot's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried. "$150 just to tell me my bird is dead?!"?ÿ
?ÿ?ÿ
The vet shrugged. "If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would only have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, what did you expect?"?ÿ
We do have some cultural components that are world-wide. That is very close to the way I heard that story in the middle of the USA a few years ago.

Very well done.
Thank you.

Next you can hunt down the treasure of One Eyed Willie! ??ÿ ??ÿ
