Cut this

I'm leaning toward starting a campaign against lawn blowers.

Driving across town, I'm always coming across lawn maintenance crews (how's that for a PC term?) working on beautiful water-sucking lawns. Their final act, it seems, is to sling yet another gas-guzzling machine onto a worker's back to spread around the grass clippings.

Seriously, what do they think they're achieving? The beautifully manicured lawn, it seems, must be surrounded by concrete that is void of grass clippings. So, naturally, they blow the grass into the street.

There, instead of composting into the ground to nurture the grass, the remains work their way into the storm sewers to help clog them.

Oh, and fall is coming, a time when the blowers are used to gather leafs ... USE A RAKE!

OK, I'm better now.
