Telephone Poles Wanted
I admit there are all kinds of collectors out there. Some people collect stamps, or shells, or baseball cards or artwork, but this is a new one on me. You can’t see the extent of it but there must be fifteen or more telephone poles stacked in this yard. As collections go ... well I can’t see where one pole is any different from another. And...how does one collect telephone poles anyway? It’s not like you can just pick them up off the side of the road.
I think the most difficult part of this hobby would be finding the poles. I’ve never seen a telephone pole just lying along the road, have you? “Hey Earl, is that a telephone pole off the Interstate 202 ramp? Jump on out of the truck and check. Oh a log? Darn that’s 17 false alarms today! How about that one that is really leaning. Give it a push Earl and see if it falls!”
What a nightmare! Then you have to bungee them on top of your car. “Hey Earl call up 6 or 7 guys to help hoist this pole on top of the car. What do you mean they are ALL busy?”
For those of you who were asking, this is the front of the house with the 1980’s Oldsmobile in the yard. This house is located off a rural road in Richmond County, Virginia.
