This is good to hear, Margaret. I'm planning on hustling leaves this
fall and have been worried that people would think I'm whacko (don't
say it, George). Believe it or not, the only reason I didn't go out
leaf hustling last year is that I was intimidated by how I thought
people might react. Dumb, huh. But this is Idaho and I had a vision
of folks with rifles and hunting dogs.
