Autumn leaves and garages

What is it with Autumn leaves and garages?  First off, they like to pile up against the doors when they are closed.  Second, they like to infiltrate garages when the doors are open.  They seem to gravitate toward the interior even when the trees are a distance away.  As if the tree sees an opportunity to infiltrate when the door is open.  Third, when you angrily toss the leaves back to the outdoors, they seem to want to fly back in again.  As if the wind is conspiring with the leaves, giving them a helping hand to touch your car(s) and if they are lucky, hiding themselves in unseen crevices to start their decay.  It's weird.  It's like mother nature trying to get her hands on your car and destroy it with moisture and rot.  One must always be vigilant against her.  That's my rant for today.  Because it happened today.  And has happened many times in the past.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

You can move south where the leaves stay on the trees all year. Then instead you can pick off the iguanas with a air rifle to keep them from eating the leaves.

That could be fun.  But aren't iguanas nice pets?  They are fairly intelligent for being reptiles.

 Watch Iguana Solutions on Youtube and you will better understand the problems these critters present. Jessica is a pro with a PCP rifle.

Yes, you just described another associated phenomenon exactly as it plays out.  Every time!  You described it very well.
