Wow, a week and change since I've updated this thing.

MAN has it gotten busy around here.

 

Updating a few previous items:

• The Ophidian invasion continues. Napa's become jaded to its presence, as usual.
• I'm still going to BrickFest, although the gathering of stuff has hit a recent snag. I wish it'd get here already, though...the anticipation is eating away at me.
• No progress on the model of recent.

Why no model progress? Because I've been doing something else!

Describing a line!

*cricket chirping*

 

But this is better, because I can show you what I've been working on. Here:

The coordinate system used for this description of the coastal zone boundary is the southern Louisiana state plane of the 1983 North American Datum (FIPS 1702), measured in feet (NAD_1983_StatePlane_Louisiana_South_FIPS_1702_Feet).

 

Beginning at a point marked A, which point is located at the Plaquemines parish line (coordinate (3681956.734710, 484993.841634)),

Thence in a westerly direction approximately 667 feet to the point B (3681288.482212, 484944.756148)

Thence in a westerly direction approximately 3765 feet to the point C (36775223.117426, 484969.457101)

Thence in a southwesterly direction approximately 621 feet to the point D (3677101.672177, 484513.304742)

Thence in a southerly direction approximately 5861 feet to the point E (3677600.580003, 478675.040452)

Thence in a southwesterly direction approximately 8029 feet to the point F (3673236.875476, 471939.711328)

Thence in a northwesterly direction approximately 1048 feet to the point G (3672406.946722, 472577.444471) at Lafitte-LaRose Boulevard (LA Highway 3134)

Thence in a southerly direction approximately 5540 feet to the point H (3672158.990167, 467044.878490) near Barataria Boulevard (LA Highway 45)

Thence in an easterly direction approximately 1193 feet to the point I (3673341.442601, 466878.975749)

Thence in a southeasterly direction approximately 1395 feet to the point J (3674723.817384, 466688.720454)

Thence in a southeasterly direction approximately 1052 feet to the point K (3675749.980384, 466451.743497)

Thence in a southeasterly direction approximately 1018 feet to the point L (3676677.206595, 466031.016858)

Thence in a southeasterly direction approximately 1082 feet to the point M (3677579.658031, 465432.881245)

Thence in a southeasterly direction approximately 795 feet to the point N (3678044.442966, 464789.195657)

Thence in a southerly direction approximately 156 feet to the point O (3678049.611163, 464633.575167)

Thence in a southwesterly direction approximately 352 feet to the point P (3677896.921765, 464317.272390)

Thence in a southeasterly direction approximately 427 feet to the point Q (3678039.277957, 463915.248740)

Thence in a southerly direction approximately 654 feet across Bayou Barataria to the point R (3678103.665708, 463263.966028)

Thence in a southeasterly direction approximately 958 feet to the point S (3678797.412973, 462599.531255)

Thence in a southerly direction approximately 543 feet to the point T (3678754.194336, 462058.840861)

And then 8 more pages of mind-numbing coordinates, ending at point GU at Bayou Verret, on the St. Charles parish line.

203 coordinates at all.

 

WHAT the frell is it? It's the proposed Growth Limit line for the West Bank of Jefferson Parish. Outside of that line, people won't be allowed to build anything bigger than a hunting camp. You know, to protect the environment, and stuff.

 

And before you raze me over the lack of proper punctuation, Smeag, I checked: it's supposed to be missing the periods.

 

Anyway, that's done, so on to other things. Just checking in as it were.

We now return you to your relative obscurity, already in progress...
