The leaf blowers of the LICH

It's Saturday. Morning. For hours every second Saturday the Cobble Hill neighbourhood around the LICH is plagued by the hospital-sponsored, high-pitched whine of leaf blowers blowing dust and debris from point A to point B. Constant high pitched roar. Gas-powered, noise polluting, air polluting, irritants.

This is landscaping at its best. Not gardening. Landscaping. Think woodchips, bad topsoil, plastic lawn edging and '70's borders of orange impatiens at the feet of ill-(motor)-trimmed yew hedging.

Did I mention it's SATURDAY???
