Pedernales showed up before 9am and didn’t leave until
after 1pm. Watching the crew work was interesting. Everyone had their job and didn’t need to be
told what to do. They drove onto the
property and immediately got to work. It
was sort of like watching a ballet.
While one used the auger to dig 3 separate holes in rock, others would
be preparing a pole, while others would be preparing the wire or working on a
different pole or doing something else.
No one took breaks. No one stood
around doing nothing. Everyone on the
crew worked hard that day. What these
guys do every day is physically difficult dangerous work that most of us never
think about. But thanks to them and men
like them we have electricity.
