Leaf Blower Diplomacy
A polite request for quiet hours turns into a twelve-reply saga about leaf blower constitutional rights.
About the Episode
What began as a courteous note about early-morning leaf blowing became a twelve-reply saga that referenced property rights, parenting schedules, and at least one metaphor about freedom that did not quite land. We walk through the thread in order so you can feel the tension rise from “just asking” to “I will not be silenced by mulch.”
We also pause to ask why noise disputes online always attract someone who claims to work nights and someone else who claims to work from home, as if the block is running a small census. The episode closes with a few practical ideas for de-escalation that do not involve inventing new amendments.
Episode still — evidence board energy.
