Enough leaf blowing already!!

Like everywhere I've gone today I've seen TEAMS of landscapers blowing away leaves with hand-held leafblowers, lawnmower-sized leaf blowers, and giant fan ride-on leaf blowers. Talk about an idiotic waste of resources!!! And to top it off, many of the trees haven't even finished dropping their leaves! GRRRRRRRRR.

Anyhow, on to lunch...
