Could you mow my lawn while you're at it?

A while back Gretchen mentioned how thorough the street cleaners are here, and I saw it first-hand today when I went home at lunch to walk Grady. Not only did they have a guy with a broom following along with the street cleaner, but there was also a guy with a leaf blower blowing all of the spring tree funk (you know, all the stuff left over after the trees lose their blossoms--arboris funkiae I believe it's called) from the sidewalk into the path of the street cleaner, which sucked it all up. Plus, along one street where there were no cars parked, they just drove the street cleaner right up onto the sidewalk and cleaned the whole sidewalk that way.
