And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

In my head I know it is safe, buuuut... Kinda like when I had my house power upgraded. The electrician was on my roof connecting the power cables, and I knew it was all good as long as he did not touch more than one at a time, buuuut... No big puff of smoke, thankfully.
My cousin-in-law was a linesman for 30+ years and he once told me he could tell if a new hire was going to make it within the first 15 minutes. Takes a lot of patience, skill and concentration to do that stuff in the daytime, much less at 2 o’clock in the morning after an ice storm.
Not a job for a windy day...

ReplyDeleteI'd do that job. Looks like it would be a blast.
ReplyDeleteAt least a buzz!

IBEW guys at it again.
