6:30 IS early but if they tried to clean up during school hours parents would be up in arms about dust, noise, leaf mold! They pick up 3 dumpsters near me before 7 am. Is it noisy and intrusive? - YES. Is it life altering? - NO. A week or two during the fall to help kids stay healthy and to learn? Seems petty, at minimum! If you have no job to go to and be up and around by 6:30 am there are TONS of volunteer opportunities that would fill your day while making a difference in the lives of people who need and appreciate it. A perfect cure for the loneliness/curmudgeonly behavior that prompts these pointless calls to MPD! Get out of your house and do some good!

Your rant amuses me.

It can also be reasoned that 630 was just when the call was logged. The leaf blowers could have been going on much earlier for all we know. Considering there is no school today and add in that there is the same amount of daylight after school lets out as there is in the morning before school starts, a case could be made that there can be found more appropriate times. And to counter your arguement about dust and mold, I would hazard a guess that once the leaf blowers stop, the dust and mold are still stirred up in the air while kids are outside on school grounds getting off the buses. It can also be reasoned that there is potential for the caller to work a shift at night where they rely on the relatively quiet hours of 6 am to fall asleep before the everyday noise starts up.

Again, your rant amuses me.
