Nap interruption

Dear landscaper man,

I just want to say thanks for blowing those leaves outside my son's window this afternoon while he was napping. There's nothing he enjoys more than being woken up by strange and scary leaf-blowing noises.

Sincerely,

Christie

My work order for tomorrow involves a concrete saw and a time that is strangely listed only as 'during Henry's nap'. See you there!

You're a funny man. Wanna babysit?

Our neighbor is out there with his leaf blower 4 hours everday. Even in the rain. Always during nap time.

Since I think he's trying to escape the chaos within his house, I'll cut him some slack but still...enough already!

I feel your pain.

It's a running joke here that if it's naptime, it must be time for our neighbors to mow their lawn. It could be raining, or they might have just mowed yesterday... no matter.

Wonder if the leaf blower guy will babysit for you too? You could get two date nights!

Our neighbor is out all time as well - as soon as ONE leaf falls I swear she runs out of her house to get it.

Sorry to let this intrude (like some leaf blowers -- N.B.: gas-powered leaf blowers aren't allowed in our town)... but this kind of behaviour always catches my eye:

Read this pro-se masterpiece and try not to give your good self a hernia in the process.

Wow. Copyright infringement for "Human brain telepathy to a computer".

I bet this is the same underlying technology used by leaf blower/concrete saw operators to schedule concurrently with nap times.

He might have a case!

That is a brutal document. I begrudgingly thank you for the link.
