I love the turning of the leaves in Fall. The colors are always gorgeous and fiery. And eventually, they all fall down and become a play ground for kids. Then, it starts….. The loud noise immediately followed by dust… All for pushing the leaves off ones yard to where??…
I never understood the purpose of leaf blowers… It has a rich product line offering, too. You can buy gas, electric or cordless in variety of sizes, including as a backpack. Recently, they have been trying to address the noise and air pollution problems. Again, all this effort for what?? To blow leaves from point A to point B?!.
With that, I dedicate today’s Dilbert to leaf blowers. Cheers!

I have always considered leaf blowers the biggest waste of technology ever expended for all of the reasons that you cite – Noisy, ineffecient, polluting, etc.
