Remember when you were a kid and you actually looked forward to helping rake leaves just so you could jump into them? I was always happy to offer my assistance in raking for that reason only, otherwise leaf raking sucks on a level that cannot be put into words. These days I just wait until my neighbors get sick of them blowing into their yard and rake them up for me. HA HA is that bad? Hey my neighbor is retired and he actually LIKES do it. Plus I do bring him by some cookies for his effort. Anywho, next year not only am I going to rake my leaves but I’m going to gather some friends and we’ll rake up all the leaves in the neighborhood, for one reason and one reason only, and that is so we can do this:
