kirkcudbrightThe landscaping crew outside is vacuuming/shredding the leaves that they spent most of last week blowing around. It's making a god-awful amount of both noise and dust, past my third-floor office window.
So much energy and physical labor is devoted to trying to avoid simple physical labor like raking leaves. In Poland a couple years ago, I watched a grounds crew raking grass clippings. That just Wouldn't Happen here. But I didn't know the Polish for "What, have you never heard of a bagging mower?", so I just watched, slightly agape. I should be more agape at the leaf vac truck, but I'm inured to it.
(Yes, I'm bored at work, why do you ask?)
