Close to Home by John McPherson for December 01, 2009

He forgot to read the instructions…

Now that really sucks.

Instructions!?! Only a wuss reads instructions! You should see all the stuff I have in the basement that I threw out the instructions. Must be defective.

Our borough has leaf collection days, so I use the blower to chase most of the leaves onto a tarp which I drag out to the street. The remainder of them, I use the vacuum feature to shred and collect to put in the compost bin. We got some volunteer tomato vines this past summer due to some seeds getting into the compost accidentally.

So that’s what was making the leaves Russell…

Just don’t blow it

he’s going to try to pass the mark on his face as a giant hickey, but we all know better

ah , an autumn afternoon, cruising chicks and sucking face

That Gary, what a card!

I live on a street where it seems EVERY house (except mine) has at least one gas-powered leaf blower, and everyone uses his (or hers) at a different time. The sound of fall - gasoline engines, up and down the street, hours and hours of it. I HATE leaf blowers! So there, you leaf-blower people…

He’ll get 20 years for manslaughter, but it was worth it.

Ushindi, my leaf blower is electric powered. You’d probably still hate it though, because it’s loud too.
