   There used to be a time when incinerators were standard fixtures in the back yard. Now houses are being built without fireplaces. Soooo, where in suburbia can one burn leaves?

   I live in a kind of suburbia where you drive by cows to get to it. There are some neighborhoods here, but many houses on acreage not in neighborhoods. That’s where they’re burning leaves.

   in the early 1950s, when i spent a lot of time staying at my grandparents’ place in Rocky River Ohio (about as urban a suburb as you can get), everybody raked their leaves up, dumped them in the street at the curb, and burnt them there.

   Early ‘50’s - Cleveland, OH. Late 50’s - Hacienda Heights, CA. We used to burn the leaves & other assorted paper products, too. I guess what got to me was that this activity has been outlawed for so long, the idea of burning leaves made no sense here in ‘09.

   Burn some leaves and create thick smoke
   Make a smoke screen so thick you choke
   Be like Old Hipster and make it count
   Upon a big doobie you can mount
   And Bogart that fat boy til you croak!
