    (Utility pole snapped, a block away from me, by a tree).

    A. You are not wrong.

    B. All the damn trees knocking out power lines everywhere. Beryl just said fuck you to all the cedars and live oaks.

            That will require passing regulations to ensure quality, and contracting someone who isn’t related to a government official.

            That’s not gonna be easy in Texas.

        I agree with you.

        They would have to convince the Public Utilities Commission, and the cost would be passed to the subscriber. But I think it would clearly be worth it ok the long run.

        They may already be working toward this, since it is already being done along a nearby major road.
