3. Electrics? Annoying but tolerable. Gas powered? Abominations from hell... |

...because Satan threw them out of Hell.

It's in the 60's, it's bright and sunny, and I have a paper to write. :-(

:hi:
The gas leaf blowers. We have a lawn service in the condo complex that insists on using those fucking things incessantly. :grr:
In fact all of the lawn services all use those goddam things.

So you live in a condo complex? So you are rich and have illegals blowing away your detritus? There are a couple of widow ladies in the neighborhood who contract out their lawn service and they use the gas blowers. I've yet to find it a problem. A couple minutes here, a couple minutes there and the neighborhood looks good. I prefer the blowers to kids screaming and shouting.

But I don't remember ever having used it to blow leaves. They're the best when you have a fire that doesn't really want to burn such as a tree stump.
I would much rather hear a leave blower than a damned basketball or screaming kids.

14. Absolutely pathetic - use a broom or a rake and actually pick up the leaves |
|
It really doesn't take any longer to push a broom...

Leave the leaves where they are. That's saving labor.

21. I wish I had one of those in the Basic Training during the fall at Ft Leonard Wood, MO |
|
That's all I have to say.
Here in the Sonoran desert we typically don't have that problem.

22. It part of the Leaf solution |
|
I'll be cleaning up about 700Bushel of leaves again this year. Most done with a lawn tractor. But when you spend that many hours on leaves, you start to appreciate anything that can save you a little time.
