I have seen many landscapers jump in front of cars while unloading their vans or working with leaf blowers in town. WATCH out
Speaking of leaves, the leaf pickup is going well….at least it is in my area.
In fact, they came a week early for the 2nd pickup. I’d rather have that issue as opposed to the pickup occurring later than promised.
Fingers are crossed that the 3rd pickup gets completed before the first snowfall.
I wonder if they’re working weekends like other municipalities.
