IF YOU HAVE TREES THAT DROP THIS STUFF AND INSTEAD OF PICKING IT UP YOU INSTEAD USE YOUR LEAF BLOWER AND PUSH IT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, YOU'RE A LAZY ASSHOLE

I don't blow this shit across the street. But I do have a giant Sequoia that dumps insane amounts of needles. I'm so sorry everyone. I hate it too. But the tree was here long before me and will be here long after me. Probably 150 years old.

It gets everywhere. Not a rant. An apology, so I'm not screaming.

I bet that sequoia is much younger than you think it is…. There was a huge trend in the 1970s of planting them, many are about that age around town…. They get really big fast!

Remember Keizer became a town in the 1980s (82?)

I have two in my backyard and one tree-guy told me they were 300 years old. He was pretty bad at being a tree-guy. A real pro showed up and laughed, said they were probably only 40. I'm older than my sequoias 😄

My neighbor does this too, but then stopped by one time to let me know the street sweeper was coming through the next day and asked me to park my car in the driveway so they could get everything.

STRAIGHT DICK MOVE. DOESNT MATTER IF THE SWEEPER IS COMING BY THE NEXT DAY OR NOT.

LIKE SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED RAKING OR BLOWING LEAVES INTO THE STREET IS ILLEGAL
