the effect East Coast did you mean "effete" East Coast? Sometimes I wonder
if those two terms aren't redundant. sk ----- Original Message ----- From:

Yeah, well, that's how it is on the effect East Coast. Further inland,
though, the Wichita Lineman is doubtless still up a pole...

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. Many of the older guys miss the rough
and tumble of the old days when they truly were nature boys and macho men. sk

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. Al Krigman

little chunks of ice when the iceman was inside the customer's dropping off the
block of ice. Check out the new AOL. Most comprehensive set of free safety
