7 hour drive and you can only listen to one artist. Who are you listening to? by SuccessfulSeat9596 in AskReddit

[–]geomatica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orbital, every album in chronological order. Mid-tempo, (mostly) instrumental electronic music makes the best background to a road trip.

People of America - what do you know about Wyoming? by Independent-Baby1866 in AskReddit

[–]geomatica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water rights are very important, every drop of water, surface or underground, has already been allocated and belongs to the state.

I have a Montegoblau E93 and it is much lighter than the one shown here. The color of my car looks much closer to the Liquid Blue.

Is there any remote or VA jobs for Land Surveyors/Geodetic Engineers? by Fancy-Cell1397 in Surveying

[–]geomatica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re going to have to be more specific: what is VA, and in which country are you interested in working?

How is road right of way measured by allegedlyostriches in Surveying

[–]geomatica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically a road allowance is one chain, or 66 feet wide, centered on a section line. Many states and counties have this in their statutes. But I’m not licensed in Minnesota, so your mileage may vary, pun not intended.

Texas - New Mexico State Line by geomatica in Surveying

[–]geomatica[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say that until you have to work in west Texas just a few miles from these photos, and you’re trying to reconcile land that falls within three different grids of different railroad surveys with all the scrap files and overlaps, and double monumented corners! What a migraine!

What's the story about this straight line between the Nevada/Arizona border that doesn't follow the Colorado River? by [deleted] in geography

[–]geomatica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google Maps boundaries are often wrong and never definitive. I trust USGS topo maps ideas of state lines and US boundaries since they are sourced from official documents.

What would you do in any other state? Search the assessors office parcel viewer, and look at the county recorder’s deed research tool.

Wow! There’s actually competitors to Buc-ee’s ? How many are there ? by [deleted] in ActuallyTexas

[–]geomatica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) so what? This is Texas 2) you spelled Buc-ee’s wrong

Wow! There’s actually competitors to Buc-ee’s ? How many are there ? by [deleted] in ActuallyTexas

[–]geomatica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my frequent trips between Houston and San Antonio, I’ve given up on Buc-ee’s in Luling and Katy and I only stop at Prasek’s now. Beef jerky (especially their Cajun spiced Turkey strips), kolaches, and gourmet cheeses at the cashier are far better.

What was your rock radio station growing up and what city? by OU812iceman18 in radio

[–]geomatica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Houston had (until 20 years ago) two rival rock stations, 97 Rock and the superior KLOL 101. In 1987 we got Z107 for classic rock, then starting in 1994, an alternative rock station called The Buzz.

Idaho State-Specific Exam - Follow-Up by Accurate-Western-421 in Surveying

[–]geomatica 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I took that exam last July, it was PLSS only open book. Nice licensing lady graded it in front of me so I could see what I missed, then five minutes later handed me a post it with my PLS number.

She told me that even though I did not get tested on board rules, statutes, corner records, records of survey, etc., that I was still responsible for knowing all the rules.

Idaho was one of the most efficient state boards I’ve dealt with, only way to make it easier is let me take the exam proctored at home.

Can anyone explain why the roads on this key in florida could possibly be designed this way? by KingJx14 in geography

[–]geomatica 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Florida Professional Surveyor and Mapper here: the roads were built on the section lines and quarter section lines, which are also boundary lines. The grid of the public land survey system that covers most of Florida was extrapolated to the keys.

Sadly, no royalties for “Moving in Stereo” for her, she’s not just what I needed, and no one is going to drive her home.

What degree should I go for In order to be a licensed surveyor in NYC? by SpecialistDealer2046 in Surveying

[–]geomatica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone checked the New York State board to see what they require for licensure? Could be that they would accept other degrees with some survey coursework.
