93 Days! At Least! But Who The F*%# Is Counting?

When, on January 31st of last year, I took a picture of the heavy-duty extension cord twisted around the city's light pole in front of Lolita's on Warren Street, the cord had been there for at least 4 weeks, possibly a whole lot longer.

Here are some pictures of the still charming, decorated pole that I took this weekend, in the year 2025.  The cord is still plugged into the outlet at the top of the pole that is only intended for DPW use.  How many live volts of electricity do you suppose that cord lying on the sidewalk has? 240 volts?  Or just 120 volts?

We live in a city with a Department of Public Works, including a superintendent who makes over $123,000 a year, that simply has no interest in paying attention to safety and aesthetics.  Are you happy with how your tax dollars are being spent?

It doesn't matter who left that live extension cord 
there months ago.  What the fuck is it still doing there?
