AND, WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT,

In the military, I once saw a guy gaff-out on a telephone pole during 
training.

It wasn't pretty.

Here in NH, cuz our poles use creosote, (I have seen some that use the 
"green-stuff" which is a copper-arsenic product, I think) they are 
considered hazardous waste. Ten years ago when they redid the poles on our 
road, I was able to get a bunch and have used them for a pole barn and 
other applications.

I have asked PSNH (our power company) about more poles and they are hard to 
get due to EPA environmental restrictions on their disposal.

I have my eye on four poles right now. Hopefully, I'll be able to snatch 
them from the jaws of the EPA.

Have a great and safe 4th of July all!
