There is nothing more satisfying to me

than raking leaves and clearing storm drains. I don't know why but it has always been one of my favorite past times. There is nothing like the feeling that I get from standing on the street, drenched in rain, rake in hand, clearing the leaves from the tops of the drains, and hearing the satisfying sound of water cascading off the street and into the storm drain. It's just a nice feeling to know that I made a flooded street passable again.
