Remember When?
Once upon a time, long, long ago, telephone poles, as we called them, had spikes on the sides, starting about eight feet up, so a lineman (there were probably no line women then) could place a short ladder against the pole, then climb the ladder to the spikes and climb the spikes to the upper reaches of the pole. Bucket trucks must have been rare in those ancient times. I was reminded of these spikes while reading about utility poles recently, and then, Lo! there they were on one lonely pole in our neighborhood. HTT!
