*the effect East Coast* did you mean "effete" East Coast?

It all depends on the area. The older linemen relished a chance to go native and climb. Many of the older guys miss the rough and tumble of the old days when they truly were nature boys and macho men. sk ----- Original Message ----- *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] *To:* [email protected] *Sent:* Friday, January 26, 2007 1:51 PM *Subject:* Re: [UC] Jannie Blackwell Improves the Neighborhood Again In a message dated 1/26/2007 1:42:42 P.M.

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?
