I like it when it rains because I can have my windows open and the intermittent white noise of car tires in puddles drowns out the continuous white noise of generators and compressors. Also the leaf blowers take a day off.
Update: I spoke too soon. The leaf blower guy is here.
It is actively raining, and the smattering of leaves that exist in the concrete slab of a neighborhood that I call home are stuck to the sidewalk, utterly impervious to blowing action.

@jwz@mastodon.social my neighbor leaf blows the fucking sidewalk in front of his house twice a day every day. TWICE A DAY HE BLOWS LIKE 5 LEAVES INTO THE STREET ONLY FOR THEM TO BLOW BACK WITH THE LOUDEST DEVICE KNOWN TO MAN. It’s maddening.
