Leaf blowers and car alarms that cycle through ten different annoying sounds are the worst. I hate that everything beeps or makes noise these days, and no one should ever have to listen to an uncovered combustion engine.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

And I'm appalled every now and then when I catch sight of some idiot operating one of those leaf blowers without any kind of ear protection.

Come to my house once a week, the gardeners never wear hearing protection.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
yay Suzi!
and Leaf blowers are an abomination. noisy. pollution-generating, energy wasting , time wasting machines. I think leaf blowers were made to make gardeners look busy. Because you can't tell it was done half an hour after the leaf blower was left. Nature is messy people! Deal with it!
I seem to be wearing my ranty pants. and I have a sudden urge to rake.

I can't even imagine the kind of damage they're doing to their hearing.
Actually, yes I can.

My crazy old neighbor uses his leaf-blower to blow the leaves into our yard. My other crazy old neighbor (who's my friend) yelled at him for this activity last week, so he called her trash. It was a whole ordeal.

Congratulations, Suzi!

It just took me 10 min to rake my yard. Leaf blowers usually go on for an hour here

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Suzi!!!!!
