Looking at the world from my eaves troughs

I cleaned my eaves troughs three times this fall.

Have you checked your eaves troughs this fall?  Clean them out?  It's ritual at our house where I get out the aluminum ladder and go from one end of th eave in both the front and the back.  There's always plenty of leaves, mostly from my neighbors.  Let the rains come.  Water will go down our downspouts and not into our basement.
