Today the last line got removed and the power company removed 2 of the old utility poles. Doesn't take much to pull those suckers out. Just grab it with the robotic arm, wiggle it some, and then lift. Then 2 guys shoveled dirt into the hole.
I was shooting video and photographs of the process out of an upstairs window.
A 3rd man started walking across the yard towards the house and was looking right at me.
Oh god, why is he coming this way? I was still in my pajamas.
He yelled up, "Hello!"
"Hey," I yelled back.
"Did we do something wrong?"
"No!"
"Because we saw the camera..."
"It's just interesting," I yelled.
"Oh. Thank you," he yelled, not really understanding I don't think but reassured.
"Thank you," I yelled. Heat was pouring in from outside and the sun felt like it was just starting to burn the backs of my hands, so I closed the window and pulled the curtains shut.
I peeked out a few minutes later and they were driving away.
