Street Sweeper Oil Trail

Aside from the trail of what looks like transmission fluid, the new yellow street sweeper leaves a bigger mess than was there before it came through...

Now for a civics lesson: Instead of calling the FBI, NSA, CIA and various other secret governmental law enforcement agencies claiming the street sweeper driver is a criminal, I did somethign VERY novel, we took pictures, and sent an email to the director of the street department letting him know there is a problem. And we managed to do it with out threatening to kill any one and burn down their houses. Its an amazing modern world we live in where we can communicate with resorting to barbaric tactics!
Now, be sure to comment how I didnt have a photo of the actual street sweeper leaking the oil. you anonymous shithead!

"I am writing in regards to the yellow street sweeper. Though I am appreciative of the service, the yellow 3 wheeled thingy is just bad, plain bad. Generally it leaves behind a bigger mess than what was there to start with, and this week, it has left a trail of leaking oil everywhere it went (the oil is a reddish color, almost like it transmission fluid and there is splattered line of of though out our neighborhood)
PLEASE bring back the street sweeper with a vacuum on it, the yellow one just scoots everything along until it turns or turns around and leaves a big dusty pile!
Thank you for putting up with another horrid rant from the unsettled citizenry.
