Sheltered in Place, Surrounded by Leaf Blowers

But now that the pandemic has forced so many people to work from home (or worse, put them out of work), many more people are stuck at home during the week. They, too, are forced to live among the leaf blowers. They’re realizing that the whining, revving, obnoxious cacophony isn’t something that comes and goes in 15 minutes—it rises up here, and there, and everywhere, invading our houses and our heads over and over, near every day, as one crew after another fires up another blower to do war on … leaves.
