Basket (45/365)

“Amazing, isn't it, how some see the basket half empty and others see it half full? Some see life hopeless, some hopeful. Even when things are less than perfect, if you can think of the good, the beautiful, the hopeful, you'll be more than sustained,”

The Podunk v2 laundromat has ten of these baskets. Is it odd that I have an enormous amount of appreciation for the functionality of such a simple object?

Laundromat (24/365)

“I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is why I don't have any clean laundry, because, come on, who wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life?”

When I was at the laundromat in town last week, one of the other people there told me about the laundromat in a neighboring town. As much as I like to keep my business local, I'll be making this 20 minute trip whenever I can. The prices are better. Every washer and dryer works. There is a change machine, two televisions AND a restroom. I was in laundry heaven!

Do Not Use (10/365)

“Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem.Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.”

Sunday mornings have been my laundry time since moving into the apartment. Being that my town is so small (the population is right at 3,000) we have only one laundromat. That wouldn't be such a bad thing except that of the 13 available dryers, 5 of them have these signs taped to the front ... and, as you can see from the date on this one, have had for quite some time.
