Rochester NY: We're being buried in leaves. My son and I raked up 40+
bags
of leaves in about 2 hours this past Sunday. We seem to be alone in the
use
of that prehistoric tool, the rake. I'm surrounded by neighbors in their
early 30s to mid 40s, in good shape, all of whom use leaf blowers and
take
all day to gather the same amount of leaves. And...cripes....the noise!

generation.

What's with these things? Is Home Depot putting guns to peoples' heads
and
forcing them to buy leaf blowers?

End of Totally Pointless Rant


You'd think they'd use leaf vacuumers instead of leaf blowers...

Rakes are more fun because when you scrape them on concrete they make that
cool sound...



If you do that at night with a metal rake, you can sometimes make sparks.
Way cool. Way useless. :-)
