Reply to comment by BansheeLoveTriangle in How has DC's ban on gas-powered leaf blowers been working out? by em_p_v

I just now escaped my home because of a leaf blower (he usually comes Monday, I hope it's because of the holiday, however, it just rained so for the first and only time all year, there are actually leaves on the ground). On my 15 min drive to the office (Pasadena) I usually see between 5 and 10 crews actively blowing (today closer to 10). So to hear "I've not seen one since" is a pretty big statement!

It's a long ass commute from DC to Pasadena, even if you're living right off 295. I lived in Hill East and commuted to Ft. Meade. It usually took me half an hour to get there, and an hour-plus to get home. If you only have to go in occasionally, it might not be that bad, but even once a week would be rough.
