I am a Lineman for the County....

Okehampton, Devon

Saturday 21st October 2006
Day 672

Saw this from the sickbed this morning, and instantly thought of the song, Wichita Lineman! I see that one of the lines is now down.... hopefully with no body attached!

Update: 1310 UTC - I wake up, and all the poles and cables have now gone! They've gone subterannean due to new housing works

Taking the lines underground is a good idea. Makes the area more photogenic. I hope you get well soon.
