Email to My Surveying Students - 1

Hello my fellow surveyors,

This is a momentous day in the history of surveying at Brigham Young University.  We have suffered greatly during our time; from dealing with construction, and professors taking our classrooms.  But no longer my fellow surveyors!  No longer shall we, section 2, be oppressed by another professor taking our classroom and using it to teach his students.  No longer will we feel that awkward, "Umm I need the room at 3 and you're not done until 4... hmm..."  No longer will we be kicked out to walk aimlessly until we find an empty classroom.  For I have good news my fellow surveyors.  We have found another classroom.  We have found a safe-haven from the other professors of this world.  We have found a place where we can learn about surveying principles without persecution.  This new place, this refuge from the storm, is called 393 CB.  That's right surveyors, we are free from the oppression.  So come join me surveyors, rise up and join your fellows at 3pm in our new world, and let us learn about all things surveying!  We will not be shut out, nor shut down!  We will always survey!  Viva la Surveying!

Close Encounters of the Motorcycle Kind - 2

Dear person who lost a plastic bag out of your car window on the freeway,

I was on my motorcycle and saw your plastic bag flowing in the wind.  It was flowing near the ground, and as I got closer to it I epic-ly caught it with my foot.  I'll tell you what, I looked amazing with fashion's newest ankle accessory!  Ow ow!!!  But even though it looked great on me, perhaps you could have thrown it away before it flew out your window and made the freeway your trash receptacle.  Thanks for keeping our future freeways clean!

Sincerely a environmentally concerned motorcyclist,

Close Encounters of the Motorcycle Kind - 1

Dear person who left a huge piece of metal lying in the middle of a lane on the freeway,

I was on my motorcycle and saw that piece of metal a little too late, luckily I'm smarter than you think.  I decided to hit it straight on - I think I may have gotten air - thanks for making me look good!  Next time, however, please strap down your stray pieces of metal so you don't inadvertently kill or injure someone.   Thank you and safe travels!

Sincerely a motorcyclist who wants to die on his own terms,

Not the actual piece of metal, but a good illustration.
