Ten years ago it took him only 10 minutes. Another 10 years, maybe it will take half an hour, he said, laughing so hard his glasses slid down his nose. [Incomplete]

Outside. Lineman Norm Olan was planning to have a quiet dinner Sunday. But an 'emergency' telephone call abruptly changed his plans. Instead he spent the next 23 hours shinning up and down icy power lines in freezing rain. It didn't take Olan long to see that the so called emergency was, in fact, a disaster.
