BLOW LEAVES, BLOW!
One noise I don’t want to ever hear again - leaf blowers -- those nasty contraptions strapped to a gardener’s back that sound like a rocket ship is taking off outside your window. For all that noise, they should be rocketing those gardeners off into space. How hard is it to move a leaf? A car doesn’t make that much noise. It would be more peaceful if a marching band cleaned up your yard. And they always start up on the day you want to sleep in. Or when you’re on an important phone call. Or when you’re waxing your legs… trust me, you need quiet when you’re working with hot wax. I learned that one the hard way. I’d rather have a rake scraping along the sidewalk outside my window. I wouldn’t mind a glass blower or even a horn blower. It’s really just laziness. Why do they have to blow the leaves around? They should rake them up. And where are they blowing the leaves anyway? Into your neighbor’s yard - so your neighbor’s leaf blower can blow them back into your yard the next day. It’s a vicious game I tell you. When I was a kid, we used to rake all the leaves into a pile and then jump in. It was a fun game. No wonder kids don’t go outside anymore!
