i've got wet laundry strung across my living room.
the dryer broke yesterday. fried wiring leading to
the heating coil. i'm lucky it didn't ignite
anything outside the dryer. joe's been fixing this
thing for years. now he proclaimed it dead.

good thing we've been burning wood for heat and the
house is bone dry. pita humidification.

your electric bill will be exponentially cheaper

this is true. we've got a new dryer on order, though,
so it won't be a permanent change. when it was just joe
and myself, we didn't own a dryer for ten years. since
the kids came, i couldn't keep up without one.

i hang stuff outside sometimes

i used to, and would now, but it wouldn't dry too fast at
these temperatures.

hold it up over your head and ,
run around with it

now that's a great mental picture :-)
maybe i'll just spin until i fall down.
