walking and measuring

Whenever I go for a walk I always carry with me a tape measure, notebook and pen or pencil. I find myself compelled to reinforce all my empirical observations of life and the objects around me with written notes on size and dimensions, sometimes texture too. Walls, fences, cars, lamp posts, pavement slabs, drains, plants, bushes, trees (these can be very time consuming and quite dangerous as I am not a naturally gifted climber), people, cats & dogs (animals I must admit are not always very obliging, neither for that matter are people... particularly mothers with prams), litter bins, traffic lights. The list is very long. Everything must be measured. I have measured most of the inanimate and animate objects in a square-mile radius of my home. I now have a 3,585 page book of notes. In addition I am learning the fundamentals of rocket science via correspondence course and hope to create a small rocket which I will use to launch my book of notes into space. It is my hope some alien civilisation retrieve the rocket with it's book cargo and use the detailed information to reconstruct my home and it's surroundings on some other planet. By this time I will hopefully have been able to construct a larger rocket which I will of course use to transport myself to this otherworld replica of my domicile and once there I will of course check it for accuracy, carefully.
