They do some crazy things here in my neck of the woods too. There is an older subdivision on the edge of town that comes to mind. Instead of cutting one particular tree down, they made about a 6x6 hole in the branches to run a line. That one tree fell and knocked out the power for the whole neighborhood. Its just ridiculous.

Thats the end of my rant.
