Local Wierd: Streetlamps…
I was had to go to Cancun the other day and on the way there I noticed that there were a string of streetlamps on the way that were lit up. Probably about 25 of them, with a few intermittent lamps not working. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I noticed a boom-truck at the end of the line of the line of lamps, preparing to do something.
I was returning to Playa a couple of hours later and noticed the lit up lamps and the boom-truckagain, this time with the boom somewhat extended and a with a lamp pulled off of its base(pole and all) and laying down on the ground. There were guys doing work on the heads of the lamp, apparently changing the light-bulbs.
Now I am not sure, but it appeared to me that they were changing the lightbulbs on the lamps. Is it possible that they pull the lamps down and change the burnt out lightbulbs while they are on the ground? The logic really wouldn’t surprise me.
I didn’t manage to get pictures of the guys changing the bulbs, because I was going 70 down the highway and the thought didn’t register until I was past the men at work, but I did manage to get pictures of the streetlamps, so everyone knows what I am talking about.
Be on the lookout for this type of thing, I want to know if anyone else has observed the changing of the lightbulbs.
