The pot calling the kettle by some familiar name...

First let me say I have the upmost respect for all our brethren that survey south of the Red River. 99.99% of them are good men and women that pay attention to their work. I even maintain a high level of professional respect for any Lone Star surveyor that constantly taunts other surveyors in different states about how inferior their work, locale, what vehicle they drive, or what they eat or wear might be. Or what software...equipment... If you get a booth full of surveyors at a beer joint talking about bologna sandwiches there will always probably be one that want's to start talking about some fancy-French-ground-up-goose-gizzard-crap that he thinks makes bologna seem like pet food. Most of us here realize we are on the third planet from the sun. Some think they are out amongst the stars...and we still laugh and tell our stories because that's how surveyors are.But if one were to read some of these certain posts about Texas I'm afraid they might get the wrong impression. I'm here to tell you that there are NO art seminars held on county courthouse lawns to aid in the determination of proper photographic technique in shadows. I'm going to bet living and surveying in Texas is just as plain and simple as it is anywhere else. And from these certain posts one might also get the impression that surveying firms down there are held together by the finest weave of professional fiber that has ever been produced. So to keep readers grounded and make sure no one actually gets the wrong impression about how common things are down there I offer up a screen capture of something I saw recently. You can make your own judgment about how difficult, specialized or different surveyors in Texas are compared to the rest of us. Looks to me like you could change the name of the state and the ad could be from anywhere. So much for the "the Lone Star theory of advanced surveying technique and professionalism" expressed by some. I'm betting, like the rest of us, surveyors in Texas put their britches on one leg at a time.

Black. The word you were searching for in the title of this thread is "black". This is America. Black matters. :p:p

In my world it's GREEN ($$$) that matters.;)
