eco-freaks?? Maybe not - I don't think they'd be driving a truck.

What did your mother, or some other family member, tell you about "two wrongs . . . ?"
I wasn't pickin' on you. I try to point it out any time I see it.
To: lewislynn
You really do need to relax a bit. I wasn't talking to you in 15.
I mean 16.
To: snopercod
Thanks for sticking up for us, but you have to feel sorry for lewislynn. He/she has been in a deep funk ever since the man he worked for was recalled. Very funny, did you make that up all by yourself?
Speaking of jobs. You sound like someone who needs to (finally) decide what your career is going to be...A nuclear start up engineer, (there's a job you won't see in the help wanted section) with a degree, working part time for a pathetic wage wiring tract houses, selling used books at halfprice.com isn't exactly a career path.

Tampering with powerlines carries its own reward. Sooner or later the powerline will tamper with you. the distribution lines carry anywhere from 18kv to 27kv. Transmission lines go up to 750kv. Ask the squirrels that play on the transformers what happens when you touch the wrong thing.

This morning they are suspecting that it is ALF or some other Eco org. I just wanted to give everyone in small towns like this a "heads up" in case there were other situations like it going on at the same time. Don't get much excitement around here you know :>)

I actually helped to build four power plants that supply power to california. So what did have you done to help provide electricity to the state?
Oh yeah, you cut and pasted the same "Pete Wilson is to blame" post ten-thousand times on Free Republic. Brilliant.
I may be poor right now but who knows, next year I could be rich.
But you'll always be just a Davis butt-boy.

Fortunately 99.999% these 'types' have no training in the sciences (like engineering) and so have little concept of how to be effective in their 'efforts' ...We should offer to give them "training" -
"Now don't forget, make sure you use a metal tool when cutting those high-voltage lines, and only an aluminum ladder will do for reaching them. Oh yeah, make sure you take off the Birkenstocks before climbing the ladder - you don't want to trip on your shoes and fall off."

Don't forget about the safety-buffer created by the rain. The most optimum time to work on power lines is in the rain.
