I'm in an electric co-op that goes back to the Rural Electrification Act 
c. 1935. They probably have zero interest in upgrading the a system 
designed to allow people to have lights in the barn.

It was tongue in cheek but an article I read recently pointed out the

the driveway for the last 10 years.
