On the way to the State Library this morning:

 

Two men, in full council gear complete with facemasks, pointing petrol powered leaf blowers at the footpath. Could not hear very loud leaf blowing machines due to extreme 100 k per hour winds blowing giant twister-style spirals of leaves and rubbish (kindly sponsored by McDonalds) throughout the suburbs while trees are blown over onto powerlines in a State-wide wind-powered path of destruction.

 

Little guys, pointing little machines at the footpath, attempting not to be blown over by a wind that renders them so entirely useless that they might as well sit on the footpath and discuss a better way to deal with the pending environmental disaster and the enormously important problem of the wind blowing the leaves out of the trees than by BLOWING LEAVES WITH PETROL.

 

Seriously, sometimes we just look so stupid.
