Complaints

There are a couple of related matters I would like to take up with the world at large. First off, a week doesn’t go by that I don’t find advertising flyers stuck under my car’s windshield wipers. By what rights does anyone leave litter on my car?

That same week, I can count on being awakened at least a couple of times by nearby gardeners blowing leaves. It isn’t merely the decibel level of those contraptions that I resent, but the fact that they don’t clean up anything--they merely move the mess around. For that same amount of noise, those guys could at least be vacuuming up the leaves.
