A ban on leaf blowers would go a long way toward solving our illegal immigration problem.

Let's see her or her hubby get up on the roof of her house and rake leaves off of it in the fall. Leaf Blowers are great useful tools for several purposes. So are weed eaters and they make as much noise and is more likely what she is hearing all summer long. I suppose lawnmowers will be her next gripe.

Maybe in her honor there should be a weekly allotted time free citizens have permission from government to do their yard work. A fine of course if you don't and a fine if you do yard work requiring gas or electric power on any other day. Bug Zappers yea ban them also and those horrid smelling mosquito torches as well. All of this posted in extreme sarcasm of course.

I'm glad I live where I do. I can mow when I wish, or never mow at all and no one cares, shoot my firearms when I wish, plus much more, just as do my neighbors also do living nearly a quarter mile away. We all get along just fine. :>}

As for the womans complaints? There are several ways to make your home a lot more insulated to outside noises. I have an Ondura roofing on my home and it knocks out most outside noises. I live right over a medivac flight path for helicopters usually flying fairly low. I barely hear them now and only when directly overhead.

Good.

The noisiest,most annoying device around.

I’ve seen guys spend up to an hour just blowing stuff around that they could have swept or raked in 15 minutes.

Leaves fall in the fall,true,but the darned things are used to cleanup grass cuttings and just plain dirt that collects on sidewalks.

They are also used for the spring cleanup here in MA.

They seem to have a hypnotizing effect on the users. They just stand there and blow things around.

Leaf blowers are a three season pain in the butt.

LOL But my mom's house down the road a half a mile the three acre yard gets mowed about every ten days plus weed eating around her flower beds etc. Guess who does that? LOL Our two dogs {Ratty's} are treated so well family and friends ask if we'll adopt them.

I've lived in a rural area most of my childhood and adult life. I have about 30 acres and I'm in the middle of it. I'm up at the end of a dead end road going up a ridge. In the spring summer and fall my home can't be seen from the road nor will it even show up on ariel photo anytime :>}

These idiots, the enviro’s, want no noise and no power (energy use of any form) yet they are the first and loudest to scream and yell to get their power turned back on immediately during an outage. I said they want no power, meaning no form of energy should be used, and they won’t be happy until we are all living without power, and that is pretty much what they profess. BUT let them go without it for one day, and they scream bloody murder.

Blowers are used to clean off grass from driveways and sidewalks after mowing too, so I suppose once a week they might be used, fools like this stalinist have to stick their nose in everyones business while saying she doesn’t want to do that, BUT.......

I have two acres and a large circular driveway. If I had to rake and sweep, I wouldn't be able to keep it as nice as I now do because I would have to hire it done and I cannot afford that.

They can have my leaf blower when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.....
