Even worser thing about leafblowers (!!):
They're ripping up what grass and mulch and plants there are adjacent to the sidewalks. I thought we were having a major grubs season and crows/raccoons digging it up. But no! Just watched a leafblower guy wrench up about half a square meter of turf and leave it overturned on the rest.
one diagnosis, the people hiring the workers are now way way too many layers from ever walking down the street they "clean".
Declaring assertions true or false is SO much power it will be engulfed, like news sources. But we do have to make our best attempts.

I read about East Frisian tea here, and tried it this morning, and it is *delicious*. Simple approach to layering cream, tea, and sugar and tasting them in layers not all at once.
For this morning, it was so good I don’t want more. Best way to savor extravagances! But the East Frisians evidently drink more tea than anybody so there might be a bit of a temptation problem here, Jeavon’s nephew’s bathrobe, sort of thing.
Anyway, thanks for the recommendation

Had to stop reading an experts advice when I realized they had streamlined away most of a basic security practice. So it’s gone well for them so far…
(Not computers this time! Multi-year crop rotation in mixed vegetable farming. A hassle, reduces income, sometimes doesn’t work. But if you get soil diseases for your profitable crops that’s much, much worse. How lucky do I feel?)
