Fascinating!  Do we get to start burning leaves again?
 Raking them into the street?  Or will be forced to fill
our yards with compost bins to accomodate all the leaves?
 Or burlap bags we have to pay a deposit on.  We could cut
down all the trees so we don't have to worry about leaves.
 My dad has a service come with a big truck and shredder
to suck up all the leaves in his yard now that he can't do
it himself anymore.  Maybe that's the answer.

This should be fun to watch.
