Should stick to traffic cameras. Less copper, but easier to get.

They didn't kill themselves.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking they might have experience. Probably wised up and got some insulated pliers after loosing Kilowatt Mike a couple gigs back
DeleteThere are plenty sitting on the ground here is south Georgia. They are from the hurricane and the power company has not picked all of them up.

BTW: We are still waiting on FEMA to show up.
Why can't people just get real jobs? Pieces of shit!
ReplyDeleteThat neighborhood is where I was born and raised. Needless to say, it wasn't that way back then.
ReplyDeleteEven better...25 years ago the owner of a sizable electrical supply company in Charlotte died. When they put his estate into probate, they couldn't find any Duke Power bills or checks.
ReplyDeleteHe had hotwired 110V single phase & 220V 3-phase directly into the building. We were excavating his gasoline & diesel tanks at the time. We got cash up front, as Duke was preparing a huge lawsuit.
30 years ago, that would have been East St. Louis.
