thats what i was gonna say..but that aint really that bad..compaired to most people who hit poles..most people either hit the sucker head on..or literally wrap the vehicle around the pole

glad your ok...gives you and excuse to replace that rusty bumper,fender and im sure that headlight was hazed anyway

glass is half full bud

glad your okay

dont tell your utility company. alot of times repairing those poles is out of your insurance coverage. which leaves you with an extra couple thousand to pull out of your own wallet
