Not really. When I was a jogger, it needed to go more than once
a week. Fortunately, at the time, the laundromat was closer and
had better hours. Right now, I don't exercise much and, thus, do
not have that Eau Du Longshoreman whiffitude.

Another thing I have discovered is that tobacco smoke accounts for
a large amount of the nasty smell of dirty laundry. Since people
aren't smoking that much anymore (the smokers appear to have died),
I don't have to deal with that musty smell on my clothing.

Peeve: When I do go to a place that has smoking, I have to trundle
off to the laundromat to wash the stuff. That happened this week.
Gr.

!Peeve: Fewer people in the area smoke and the restaurants are
all becoming non-smoking areas.
