[ExI] big rip in washing machines

[William Flynn Wallace]

I once visited friends who lived on a rather large property in Arizona. It
was about 50 degrees Celsius, but they still took their clothes out of the
washing machine and into a drier. They would have dried almost as quickly
if they left them in the basket. I enquires, and it seemed that air drying
just did not figure as an option in their minds. To me, it seemed crazy.

A girl was watching her mother in the kitchen while she prepared a roast.
The mother took a knife and cut off the end of the roast.  The girl asked
her why she did that, and the mother said it was the way they always did
it, but asked her mother about it, and she said the same thing, so they
asked the great grandmother of the girl, and she said 'Why, to get it to
fit the pot.'  People get in a rut and miss the obvious alternatives and
even why they are doing what they are doing.  Custom is strong.  Why, for
instance, peel carrots?  You are missing a lot of the vitamins.  Ditto
potatoes.
bill w  p.s. dryer drying does take out wrinkles - air doesn't
