WILL CITY LEAF VACUUMERS SEEK SEWER RACCOONS?

City workers, following their orders of removing leaves to satisfy the demands of some Waukesha prim-and-properists
take to the streets - and gutters, and sewer grates - to suck up fallen leaves with big, SCARY machines. This endangers the sewer raccoons.
The SRN has seen an awful lot of anonymous SOUND OFF complaints lately in the local newspaper - too much space given - on the (GET THIS: very important) subject of leaf removal.
At a time like this, with all that is auguring in on us in the world, there are people who are unremittingly hung up with leaves, snow removal and pothole repairs.
The issue of bagging leaves after a certain cut-off date has completely thrown these few but vocal, and dare I say narrow-minded nameless correspondents of the paper?
Has anyone thought, just for a moment, about the affairs of our furry neighbors who sometimes scour clean our gutters for cast-away pizza slices or other edibles?
Do the mysteriously rustling leaves ahead of the machine vacuumers sometimes not call for care and caution?
Under the new and fast-rising tide of harmony with all creatures in the world, the SRN says: Let there be peace, and let it start with me - home town.
