Rochester NY: We're being buried in leaves. My son and I raked up 40+ bags of leaves in about 2 hours this past Sunday. We seem to be alone in the use of that prehistoric tool, the rake. I'm surrounded by neighbors in their early 30s to mid 40s, in good shape, all of whom use leaf blowers and take all day to gather the same amount of leaves. And...cripes....the noise!

What's with these things? Is Home Depot putting guns to peoples' heads and forcing them to buy leaf blowers?
