In response to Ed Kohler's post on trying to get Xcel to remove the shoes hanging over power lines:
We have lots of those on the northside, too. My suggested solution is not to take the shoes down but for all of us to visit the thrift stores, buy pairs of shoes, tie the laces together and to throw a pair of shoes over EVERY power line crossing a street. I suspect this isn't legal, but it would make the shoe thing meaningless. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. [NOTE: I'm not really advocating that we do this, but the idea had occurred to me!] On the other hand, I've seen no new shoe locations in the past several months in my neighborhood, so I suspect that now the word is out, the shoes have already lost their purpose as a secret code about drug dealing locations.
