I hate leaf blowers and you should, too

I had always thought of golf and fishing as the most popular hobbies for middle-aged men. But in my neighborhood? It’s leaf blowing.

Like a weeklong pickleball match, two neighbors volley leaves back and forth from their lawns — yet no one ever wins. Because I suppose he doesn’t want the fun to end when the gas runs out, another neighbor is always strapped down with two leaf blowers.

This is a Florida neighborhood and we sure have a noisy soundscape here.
