Month: October 2003

I find that I often agree with Roger Ebert’s reviews of movies, and again, I agree with him here, in a small essay against the most evil of powered lawn implements: the leaf blower.

As a side note, I have often said that if, at some point, I am to be responsible for a large amount of land, like a homestead or that artists’ village I keep dreaming about, I will require all of the groundskeepers to use hand-powered tool at all times, excepting if they need to prune a very large dying tree or something. Rakes and old-style push mowers are nearly as efficient, and much easier to abide when you’re trying to concentrate.

I have never seen so many bad Terminator, Total Recall and bodybuilding puns in all my life, and it’s all because of this:

Schwarzenegger Wins

Davis Is Ousted as California Governor in Recall Election

Don’t try this at home, kids.
