Last November, I posted a thread asking why vacuum cleaners for leaves don’t exist. Some Dopers pointed out to me that they do. I ordered one from Amazon this winter, and finally got a dry and not-too-cold weekend with no snow on the ground last weekend to use it. It worked great. I needed a vacuum because the problem was leaves in the low areas near our doors, where a rake wouldn’t work so well. Thanks for telling me they do exist.
Anyone else want to say “thanks” for anything?
Thanks to anyone who has posted to Las Vegas and Grand Canyon area threads in the past year or so. (Especially to DMark. ) While the trip planned for the end of May has been postponed due to the need to buy a new car, I have it all filed away to use when we can save money for the trip.
Yes – thank you to Mr. Rosewater, who taught me in one of my first threads how to just say linky
when I want to post a picture or a url. I have used that at least a hundred times since then.
Thanks for helping me talk the gentleman out of the large wedding portrait this week! 
And for all the laughs you’ve given me in that thread and all the other threads through the years.
