The local utility company sent Asplund out  to clean up the powerline right 
of way in front of my house last week.
There was a dead pine tree (big one) at the edge of my yard and they cut it 
down.  I was surprised to see that the guy in the bucket cutting out limbs 
and cutting the top few blocks out of the tree was using an electric pole 
saw of some sort.  I didn't get a good look at it but apparently electric 
chain saws have come a long ways.
