Sort of fun isn't it. Just when someone is totally convinced they know something to be absolute, they find out there are exceptions. One of the joys of the surveying world. The answer is almost always, "It depends."
Somewhere along about junor high school we were taught the concept of square roots and that the square root of 4 was 2. Then sometime during algebra class we learned there are two square roots of 4. That is 2 and -2. Some of us went on to take higher level math classes where strange roots such as the fifth root of a number became important. Then we learned there are five fifth roots of a number but you must use that wondrous mathematical trick called imaginary numbers to discover all five of them. Eventually we were exposed to very strange roots such as the 7.22345th root. Pandemonium reigned.
A firm in Denver calls themselves "105 West". I looked them up on google maps and they are @ 104å¡55' West. (close enough - rounding)
I wanted to make something of my old handle ADamSurveyor. I don't know if that is any good or not. I'll probably not go into private practice at this stage of my life though. Unless I could retire and start just a small firm and take on a few jobs here and there. I'm not sure of he logistics of making something like that happen.
"Sofa King" used to advertise on their billboards "Sofa King low prices". I think they had to take them down when the fcc or some agency finally caught on.
Yesterday I had lunch at a place called "BJ's Burgers" in Lamar CO. I had the BJ special (since we talk about what's for lunch sometimes).
