what a great thing the mag is. I suggest if you are ever looking for filler space you insert a tribute to electrical line mechanic killed in the line od duty. Example:

PECO, the Boroughs of Trappe & Collegeville and organizers from KaBOOM!, will host a Design Day for children on March 11. Area children will draw their dream playgrounds. Elements from the children's drawings will be incorporated into the final design for the new community playground to be built in May at the Water Works Park that is shared by the boroughs. Design Day will also be the first meeting of the playground planning committee that will work for the next 10 weeks to plan and prepare for the construction of the new playground. PECO is funding a majority of the nearly $60,000 project as a lasting tribute to Michael J. Killian, former nearby Limerick native and 18-year first class lineman killed in the line of duty in January 2006.

I thought the story on the WCLR was great Dont ask me why

Did anyone notice the man on the front cover working in leather gloves?

i did see that...........but before we jump to conclusions......in the story they were talking about storm eork so it could be that they were rebuilding new and had it killed out and grounded, which would allow them to work in leathers would it not??

[Special ED]

Depends on who they work for Hemi.. I seen crews on the ice storm last year that open, tested, and grounded and still had to wear gloves and sleeves.

Not too crazy if you ask me. I've seen on storms where they pile crews on top of one another in areas and theres lines getting energized all around you.

Killed out and grounded can still get you killed. But it could have been "new" construction where nothing was around and everything was new so there was no threat of backfeed, etc. I'm not sure I've seen the pic right off hand so I dont know, just a thought.

Good job with the mag Byron, it was great shooting the shit with ya in Kansas City and Shreveport
