And it's a sunny, balmy 20F (-7C) here on the North Shore. . .

If someone had told me that a telephone pole, when broken off at its base, will swing to hang from its completely undamaged power and phone cables such that it is twenty feet off the ground and as near to perfectly horizontal as can be judged by eyeball, I would not have believed that person.

I don't expect you to believe me either.



(It is quite warm out, aside from when the wind goes. And I may bitch uselessly about doctors later, but I don't really feel like it right now. Didn't sleep enough last night. Must prep marinade and spackle and clean the living room and stare helplessly and incoherently at everything around me.)

Fraid not; saw it on the way to the doctor, they'd cleaned it up partly by the time we were heading back. And we didn't have the camera with anyway. . . .

Well, I must defy expectations. I believe you.

I have to agree and believe.

Why would you make something up when there's sufficient wierdness in the world?

I'm prepared to believe you. How else should it hang?

Also, on the Montreal-New York train the other week, I saw what seemed like miles and miles of abandoned power line, with the poles tilted or even pulled out of the ground, and the wires sagging. It looked like one of those "after the apocalypse" science fiction scenes, even when the new power line (on taller poles) was clearly visible fifty or 100 feet further back.
