Make love, not noise
The Enemy is in our own backyard!
It is so lovely outside - cool, sunny, breezy... a wonderful day to fling open the windows and let in some fresh air. But it's November and leaves are beginning to fall here in Gainesville. And men in uniform are out in force with their weapons of mass displacement. Freaking, gas-powered, fume-spewing, ear-splitting leaf blowers are blowing leaves hither and thither in neighborhoods (that can afford them) all over town. For what good? So we will be spared the offensive sight of leaves on the ground in autumn.
Dear God, No!
What happened to little kids with rakes and brooms making a little money for baseball gloves and Christmas gifts? What happened to the "For Better or For Worse/Family Circle" adults who got their butts in gear finally at the end of the season and raked off the colorful offenders themselves. What happened to just letting the things fall where they may and rest in peace for a bit? What is wrong with us?
Stop the violence! End the war on autumn (and eardrums).
