      Leaf blowers should be illegal. Those motherfuckers need to re-learn how to use a goddamn rake. I don’t care what time it is or if I’m already awake, I shouldn’t have the quiet enjoyment of my own home regularly interrupted by

      rrrrrrRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

        More and more people use a leaf blower for snow removal around here. It’s pretty much useless, so it takes forever.

        At least the sun doesn’t come up till 10 so you’re not waking anyone up.

          I’ve got carpal tunnel, and they actually work better than a shovel since it gets rid of the dust that melts into ice when the sun hits it.

          Mines also battery/electric so significantly quieter.
