If you walk down the Hollywood Walk of Fame, you'll see lots of fans maintaining their favorite celebrity's star. At Stonehenge, there are Druid worshippers. In every yard in every subdivision across America, there are homeowners meticulously tweaking the landscaping around their phone, cable TV and electric boxes. What's the dealio. Why do you do it! Have the utility companies every complained?

Many neighborhoods REQUIRE the home owners to screen their utility boxes from view of the street with vegetation. I know the homeowners association in my neighborhood does. I can get fined if it is not screened from view by vegetation.

I think it is because homeowners DO NOT like the looks of utility boxes and therefore cover them and surround them with bushes, landscaping etc - to hide their ugly appearance

Huh? I always landscaped around everything in my backyard just to make it visually more appealing, not to "worship" any of the utility boxes.

Dee Dee, that is a good one (on so many levels!) You should be a writer. It's up there with Dave Barry, Erma Brombeck, and E.B.White.
