We had a problem here for a while because the cows would scratch on the guy wires, which shook the pole and caused the wires to touch, turning off the power. I’m amused by the recent term “power outage”. When I was growing up (’40s & ’50s), we called it a “power failure”.
I’m beginning to lose sympathy for those who are scammed. After all the publicity about phone and internet scams, you’d think that folks would just stop responding to any unidentified phone call or email. Unless, of course, you’ve just arrived on the planet.
Just imagine the size of the branch you’d need to toast it!
