What's next-gas powered lawnmowers? We could go back to something like this...

Mexican Bagpipes.

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

[Revolting cat!]

Just don't ban leafblowettes!

I love mine for dusting...open the windows, fire that puppy up, and voila!! No more dust lol

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.

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.....
