Power lines. I mean they’re everywhere. Some thin, some thick, some all mixed up in a knot, some have devices attached to them. Boxes, ransmitters, big cylinders that look like garbage cans, all hanging around from one pole to another. More than one line reaching to EVERY building, splitting here and there…That’s all pretty normal, but when I walk around town and look up, it’s completely impossible to not see a power line and there are always so many.
I noticed just how so many there are. Every time I look to the sky, there’s power lines crisscrossing all over the place. It’s insane.
We had violent winds today, caused a bit of some damage, the power went out constantly this morning. Now this power line observation is one I made before. But it happened again today, probably because of all those winds making me look up, so I could make sure that no horsemen would come to smite me. And it was even more weird this time, because since it was so windy, every power line was swinging back and forth, and one I saw was undone, and just kind of hung there, dancing in the wind. I heard trees croak and groan in the wind…and some power line poles, too. Kinda fuckered up.
My town does have an entire system of power line towers running through it though, so that makes for even MORE power lines. Big metal structures…they’re so far from one another, yet there’s like…a whole battalion of them. They seem so deadly and ominous on the horizon, and then you walk for 20 minutes and BAM, you’re right there besides it, contracting ass cancer.
Big major ones, and then smaller ones, and then wooden poles…
But my point is, it isn’t odd, I just think it’s really nuts just how many damn power lines there are EVERYWHERE when you walk outside and look up for not even ten seconds.
