Dryers

Why is it that I get such satisfaction from washing clothes and not using the dryer? No, I don't like to walk around in wet clothes. I hang my clothes to dry. It's not just the buck and a quarter I am saving that makes me happy. I'll just spend the money elsewhere. As we did tonight on sushi at Drunken Fish in Oakland.

But hanging clothes to dry, such visceral satisfaction. Why pay for something when it can happen for free. Also nice is to see the pile of laundry go down slowly. Is part of the reason the USA uses so much more energy because we do much more laundry? How many times to you wear a shirt before washing it? how about underwear or socks? Why do you or do you use the dryer?

The less you use the dryer the longer your clothes will last. Think about the lint. That is just money in the garbage. You paid for that lint when it was still part of your shirt or whatever before you stuck it in the dryer, so why throw it away?

Dryers and billboards should be banned. Just think about how much nicer cities would look if there were no billboards. Take a moment right now to think about it. No, I mean it really. Take a deep breath look away from the computer and think about a billboard free environment.

Okay, look back now.

Nice wasn't it.

Kinda like Vermont.
