A recap of the events on our street this morning:
10 a.m. Dude from the city puts a note in our mailbox saying that they're "resurfacing" our street tomorrow and the day after.
10:30 a.m. Two dudes from the city walk down either side of the street with gas-powered leaf blowers clearing the street.
11 a.m. Maintenance dude for the elderly couple across the street uses electric leaf blower to clear their lawn - blowing all the leaves into the street.
12:15 p.m. Maintenance dude uses electric leaf blower to usher leaves he's just blown into the street around to the drive way, consequently blowing a bunch back on to the lawn.
12:22 p.m. Maintenance dude is apparently blowing all the leaves up the driveway?
Somehow, I feel that if he had just used a RAKE on the lawn in the first place this whole thing wouldn't feel quite so awful and wasteful and he would have had a little exercise which he looks like he could stand.
Update: 12:43 p.m. He's got a rake! Continuing to move them up the driveway. Smoking a cigarette.
