Leaf Blowers: Are you kidding me?

I realize I’m going to become like that old man who screams “Get off my lawn!” but this subject is just one that has to be addressed.

I love my neighborhood. I’m lucky to live a few short blocks away from a segment of the the brilliantly designed Boulevard System. I love that I can stand up from hours of computering, stretch, and then put the long leash on my dog and go for a long walk and relax among natury-things. Pretty hot. I’m not alone in hating on them.

Leaf blowers, though. I just don’t get it. Why assault our ears and waste fossil fuel when you can just bend over and rake those dead leaves into a bag? Seriously.
