ADDENDUM to Vacation - Employing the Clothes Dryer

I just wanted to add this little note of frustration to traveling. When we returned home to what had been a flood zone in our absence, and days of rain still forecast, and a very damp feeling house, we were struck with the task of drying 11 days of laundry for the four of us. Normally, you can see clothes on the clothes line, or even racks around the house, but the humidity level was a bit too high for that. So, our dryer, which is normally just a work space for folding laundry and fills an empty hole where dryers belong in the laundry room, offered its services. The dryer seems quite happy with gobbling up electricity for which we will be billed, removing lint, and drying our cottons (hopefully to the same size they originally were) for us. As a matter of fact, I think it is even feeling a little loved, though that is just a misperception on its part. So, Vacation Note: unplug the dryer so it can't order wet weather and force its use when you get home!

Oh, well. . . ..
