Good Monday morning all.

One of the local university has us fly the campus every couple of years. It is just amazing how much a campus changes in a few years. New building pop up where there used to be parking lots. I have no idea where they expect the people to park if they cover all the lots with new buildings. They will build a new parking lot at the edge of campus and then the precious snowflakes students just can't imagine walking 1/4 mile to the classes.

Anyway the university always has grandiose requests for not just an aerial photo but full one foot resolution topographic maps, full planimetric maps and full GIS. We always tell them to dream big but then they come back nad whine it if is over a few grand. What they want would be an easy 50 large and we would love to do it for them but we are not a charity, slaves or whores and prefer to be paid a fair market value for the products since we have things we want to buy as well.

We are going to try a bigger dog and pony show for them to show them some real world possibilities. In the end I bet we do the same old thing, one big picture and some digital files they will not be smart enough to use.
