Photo By John HoffYesterday, Jeff Skrenes (the Hawthorne Hawkman) and I went out and took a bunch of illegal signs off utility poles, which resulted in a festival of bloggy videography. (And when I say "festival," you better believe there's a pinata involved)
While going after the signs, we came upon a pair of shoes kind of, sort of hanging on a power line. The shoes were actually...
...on the power pole "guy wire," and not the power line itself. They weren't very high up, so it was a relatively easy matter to push them down with a broomstick and undo the laces.
I didn't know whether to be happy or a little sad to see the standards for "shoefiti" slipping so much.

Don't people throw shoes over power lines to commemorate an individual who has died, kind of like a tombstone?
Well, if you go online and research "shoefiti," you'll find all kinds of stories but, truthfully, most of the shoes go up on the power lines because bored pre-teens with nothing better to do throw the shoes up there.
shoes on the powerlines is often an indicator of local retail pharmacutical sales. when time permits, we get out on foot in the wee hours of the morning... we look, listen and learn. judging from our reports & court sentencing, we often loose. such is life.
