I've thought about that before.  But, somehow, I just cannot see ETSA
bothering with the expense of shutting off power, and bringing in all
the equipment needed to get up the huge pole, and replacing or cleaning
the insulators, just for my benefit.  ;-)

In the thirty-odd years that I've lived here, I've never seen them do
any maintenance to them.  So I can't imagine a bit of extra work being
scheduled into regular maintenance to improve them, either.
