I was thinking more of the digitizing/correcting of the scans/images. Maybe a university might have a place that can handle archival type stuff but don't know anything about that./geography major for one year. Did a lot of digitizing for projects the school was working on; police maps, utility maps, etc. Lot of grunt work.
Pretty much. Rolled my '72 Nova down I-90, about 50 miles east of Cle Elum. People that stopped said it rolled sideways several times and then flipped end for end. I just remember it suddenly pulling left in to the median and then there was a crowd of people around the car as the firemen pried open the drivers door. Other than a bump on the head and a scratch on one finger, I was perfectly fine. The roof of the car was crushed down to where the was just a few inches of opening where the windows were, except for over the high back bucket seats.
Nope, no inspiration from that one. Didn't give up my geeky ways and stop playing D&D or being nervous around women or nothing.
(Towed the car back to base, pulled the radiator out of the fan, hooked up the battery and the thing started up. I pulled the engine (from a '68 'Vette, hot rodded a bit) and ended up using it in a '76 Nova, then a '72 Camaro and finally, a '69 Camaro. I sold it with the '69 and am still kicking myself. It was a really nice engine.)
I have a bunch of those cards from back then. I should dig them out of storage. I also have some Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Space 1999 and a lot of baseball and football cards from the 70's. Would be cool to show to my daughter.
Well, it's central New Mexico, on the wet side of the Sandia Mountains. Originally, it was plastered with basic mud plaster on top of mud bricks. This would work by flaking off when it got too wet and keep the bricks underneath from getting moist. Since the 50's or 60's, it's been plastered with modern stucco plaster on wire lathe. And each year in spring, we have to go around and break away the loose stuff and patch it. Not near as bad as the mud plaster days, though.
What's interesting is that there's an uncapped wall of adobe bricks that was put up in the 50s, with no plaster, nothing on top and, while it has a melted look to it now, it's still standing. I wouldn't recommend leaning on it but it's amazing how long just plain mud has lasted.
Still, the way to keep mud walls strong is dry top and keeping the plaster up. At least we're not using cow manure plaster like they used to do, way back when.
But we're sorta' heading there with symbology. Driving, computers, basic food/shelter/medical aid symbols are now fairly universal. I mean, who doesn't hate that Apple symbol with the bite taken out of it?
My grandfather built a house out of mud bricks back in the 30's (with sheet metal roof). It's still in use, though over the years, indoor plumbing, electricity, in floor heating and now wireless networking has been added to it. My daughter grew up in that house, up until last year when we built a new house a couple miles down the road. 3 generations raised in there is pretty cool.

Like any of us would be able to afford to travel on flying wings.
Or the start of really good chili.
Or contact local university geography department. Might be able to work up some program with them to have students do the digitizing.
*golf clap*
What if they replaced all the humans in the Star Wars movie with Jar-Jar aliens?

There was this movie with this run down bar scene... oh, wait.
Phasers > Blasters.
'nuff said.
Big brown baby seal eyes for head lights.
Whale skin hubcaps for the win!
I like turtles.
Multipass!
Where's Leela?
Sweet! Another Piper fan.
Beam ROCKS!
Oh, let's not let Noah Webster and other madmen get involved with a friendly discussion. Next thing you know, we're all using French pronunciations.

No hot gritz?
Maybe if, in spring, you found the one with the special mark, you got an extra prize?
How do *you* pronounce waistcoat?

Atles Shrugged Zombies would make a good book.
I was kicked out of my slashpack. I'm now a slashpack of one.
