Everything is Somewhere. Essays for Land Surveyors by Angus W. Stocking L.S. 

Angus Stocking knows what makes land surveyors tick.  He's one of the breed, a straight-shooter with a touch of maverick, a boundary expert who loathes being fenced in, a master wordsmith, and a vigorous seeker of truth.  Like many of his colleagues he's part lawyer, part teacher, part artist, part preacher.  Everything is Somewhere is a rich collection of his finely crafted autobiographical stories and tales, some previously published and some new -- that will tickle your funny bone and make you wonder if maybe, just maybe, you should have been a surveyor, too.  This is a book you'll want to keep on your shelf to read again and again.
