I find it strange that they don't learn anything from their past mistakes. It probably isn't cheap to replace fallen power lines.

In Fairfield County in CT the rich people always complain about the tree trimming for the power lines and have such a big fuss they just don't do it they loss power every wind or rain storm

The rich should be made to repair the lines, then. ;D

Maybe they should replace the rich with people who can think, you know, with their brain.

Better they can't think it means I can charge them more when I work down there ;)

 :indeed: But if they have so much money, I don't know why they don't want to spend some. After all, trees don't trim themselves.

" The trees are so pretty" is the usual answer

They don't, actually. They trim enough to avoid most of the accidents and to have access to the power lines.

Probably for access, then.

That's cowardly. It was not even a real wire. And I liked that pine.  :(

Ask them, the next time around. There probably is a reason. They don't cut down trees for fun--there's not enough money.

They're not the smartest. Even the farmers who owns the trees outside the garden spare trees that they know that the people living there like. Damned communist state.
