I am working next to PEZ Candy world headquarters (Orange, CT)
The candy smells emitting from the production line exhaust(grape, strawberry, etc) were driving me nuts yesterday. Finally after I got done with my topo I made a be line for the visitors center, and got me a cool PEZ dispenser (NY YANKEES).
Obviously the fumes messed up your head,
Yankees? I mean, come on......
We know that you CT folks really love the Red Sox!

Ah the warped mind of a surveyor. When I read the first sentence I had this odd thought. Where is the N component of the coordinate? Nobody would want to use just the P(oint) E(asting) and Z(elevation) of a coordinate! Sheesh what are they thinking?
It wasn't until the last line my slow brain got it. Oh.... PEZ ... duh Larry duh.
Have a great day Joe and never mind the idiot who has been thinking like a surveyor way too long.

Don,
I'm on the west side of the CT river..Yankee country.

CT is part of New England, NY isn't!!!!!
Jeez, next you'll probably tell me you're a Jets fan, too!!!!
Nice, i thought the same but that Candy word made me re-read the line.
Years ago we did an ALTA survey of a oil refinery property. (Pre data-collectors for that matter).
But I'll tell you what, we didn't want to go near gas fumes again for a long time. So I guess I can't relate.

Jets!!???...NO Way..
G-MEN!!!!

Oy! Almost as bad, or maybe even worse this year! (Congrats on the win by the way, it was a hard fought game!)
I love shopping center ALTAs because they are mostly surveying by the numbers. But first there is the wonderful scent of the baking bread, then the cinnamon rolls, and then the awful greasy smell of the chickens being baked. If there is an ethnic restaurant there is the onions, then the garlic. If they are really into onions and garlic, phew!
Note to restaurants: Garlic is supposed to be a subtle flavor enhancer, not the primary ingredient.
I had to do ALTA surveys on about 15 Hardees in the mid 90's. Have not eaten in one since.
Before 1996 I worked in Glen Rock, NJ almost adjacent to a Nabisco plant in Fair Lawn, NJ.
Some days the ovens were baking Lorna Doones and they smelled great. But they would weekly turn up the ovens and burn them clean. It stunk terrible at times.
As an aside, Oreos are made from all the broken cookies Nabisco produces in their plant and are ground into a meal and have flour added. But when they were baking it smelled terrific also.
Hadn't heard that about Oreos, but I guess it makes sense. The story I'd heard was every Friday they swept the conveyors and made ginger snaps.
I used to work in Bloomington, Illinois, near the home of "Beer Nuts".. when they get cranking, it smells so good you have to stop and get something to eat.
So what your saying is that the elves who make those things are really just janitors...:-)
Oh wait, I forgot. It's Keebler who has the elves

Don't forget the Giants played many home games at New Haven's Yale Bowl.
I guess you wouldn't like The Stinking Rose Restaurant where they flavor their garlic with food!

Larry, Maybe it's a profile survey running due east and west. A "PEZ" survey.
One floor below my office is the "Barefoot Cowboy Lounge". Wayne just fired up his charcoal grill. The lighter fumes are just about over. Now it's the charcoal, soon the meat cooking. Time to go home for some dinner. This big old building is a fire trap. The BBQ sure smells good, but it makes me nervous.
