How can a rotting utility pole be replaced during Minnesota's winter weather and frozen ground? In addition, the houses along Bayard and Fairview Avenues offer no access to the pole because of the configuration of the lots and the placement of garages, houses, and backyard fences. Paul, a Minnesota native who has been with the utility company for 30 years, assured me that it could be done. Well, we'll see in coming days if Paul is true to his word!
I wouldn't believe anything by anyone who works for an energy company. They are, every one, as rotten as that utility pole. Doesn't mean they can't replace it in the middle of a Minnesota winter, but still, the truth remains. And we subsidize them to the tune of gazillion dollars every year with out tax dollars even though their profits continue to be larger than the budgets of most countries. Now I've said my piece, so peace, my friend, and I'm going to go watch horses jump over bars and stuff.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine doing that.
ReplyDeleteThat'll be a challenge.
ReplyDeleteCreative solution, welll done!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Paul, he'll have a challenge but I imagine he'll also have what he needs to complete the job. I hope you are going to document this exercise for us to view. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Kate.
Hmmmm. Sounds as if Lowell has strong opinions on the subject. I for one have always been grateful to utility workers. Around here they've kept us from freezing in the dark countless times and had to work under some perilous and miserable conditions.
ReplyDeleteGo for it, Paul. Piece of cake.
