Kind of off this topic, but today while driving around town, southwest
suburb
of Chicago, I saw a lady in a wheel chair raking leaves with a leaf rake!
She
doesn't need no stinkin leaf blower!

Also off topic --

I once planned a lawn party, and on the day of the event my wife called me
to say that a friend of hers had come into town to visit, was going to be at
the party and wanted to know if there was anything she could do to help.

Since it was the fall season, I told my wife that her friend could help by
keeping the lawn clear of leaves. What I didn't know was that her friend
was a high-fashion model from Hong Kong who had never lived outside of a big
city.

When I got home I discovered this beautiful model in a Dior gown standing in
my yard next to a trashbag. Every time a leaf fell off the tree she would
walk over, daintily pick it up by the stem and put it into the bag, then
wait for the next one.
