Did you ever stop and look at the utility pole and wonder what the tags mean? The two bottom ones are inspection tags, this pole is a 10 year cycle inspection. The PMLP is the owner of the pole with the pole number above. Sometimes you will notice some info stamped into the pole; the maker, the species of wood, the length and what was used to treat it. Many times the poles are plastered with lost and found and for sale signs which may cover this important info. Um, I see a few staples still attached here.....

As the waves whispered their stories, the whelk shells knew they had found their perfect slice of shell-ter. AI.
