the effect East Coast did you mean "effete" East Coast? Sometimes I wonder if those two terms aren't redundant. sk ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2007 2:03 AM Subject: Re: [UC] Jannie Blackwell Improves the Neighborhood Again
Yeah, well, that's how it is on the effect East Coast. Further inland, though, the Wichita Lineman is doubtless still up a pole... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 7:47 PM Subject: Re: [UC] Jannie Blackwell Improves the Neighborhood Again Linemen still climbed poles with those boots as late as 1987 when I saw them do it in western Chester County. It all depends on the area. The older linemen relished a chance to go native and climb.

Is this and urban legend or simply no longer relevant? I haven't seen a utility person actually climb up a pole since the days when I chased behind the horse-drawn wagons delivering ice to the houses on my street in Dorchester (arguably, America's first Streetcar suburb, by the way) where families didn't have electric or gas refrigerators.** Have you ever seen one? The utility companies send their crews out in trucks with cherry-picker hoists.
