Leaf vacuuming starts in November
Oct. 21. The Town of Cornelius will launch its annual leaf vacuuming service in November, with the Public Works crew alone with two additional seasonal workers dedicated to leaf removal into January, stopping on rainy days.
Leaves will be vacuumed at least once a month, contingent upon weather, volume, staffing, and mechanical issues.
Pile at the curb
To have your leaves vacuumed, be sure to leave them in piles at the curb. 
The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas will be especially busy. WastePro, the town’s waste contractor, will also collect up to 20 bags of leaves per week Trash bags that are not clear should be left open so WastePro can distinguish between leaves and trash.
Forecast
By the way, based on the volume of acorns falling, as well as our own proprietary logarithms, Cornelius Today is forecasting winter will begin on Dec. 21.

Dear Mr. Schmoe: This is from Grammarist.com :
Algorithm vs logarithm
An algorithm is logical procedure that is applied to a problem in order to solve that problem. Computers commonly use algorithms. Algorithm is a noun, related words are algorithmic, algorithmically. The word algorithm is derived from the Old French word algorisme, which was the term for the Arabic numeral system.
A logarithm is a quantity that represents the power to which the base or fixed number must be raised in order to produce a specific number. Logarithms were used extensively before calculators were invented in order to reduce the time needed for calculations.
