This Bothers Me..

Now I will admit.  On the grand scale of things this is minor.  But it's so stupid I can't stand it anymore.  I gotta say something.

Sid and I live in Albuquerque.  Now Abq is a great place to live, no mistake about that.  But one of the down sides is allergies.  We have lots of them and the dry climate tends to make us blond haired blue eyed folks even more sensitive to it.

So here's what I don't understand.  Why is it OK for every landscaping company in the whole damn town to just blow all of the trash and leaves from the job sites into the streets??  That is the standard practice here.  What the hell are they thinking?  All those leaves are covered with dust and pollen.  Right into the street where all the cars and trucks dive over them and grind them into a fine powder that gets thrown into the air so the rest of us can breath that crap!  How stupid is that?

Put the damn leave blower away, get out a rake and bag the damn leaves!  Then haul them off to the dump!  I am amazed that this is legal.

There, I said it.  Feels better…
