Ok. Yes. I’ll admit it. Anachronistic. Perhaps. But is there anything better than sliding between clean sheets breeze dried and sunshine scented after a hot summer’s day? Ok. Yes, there are better things:

1. Corn on the cob slathered with butter dripping down the chins of grinning sloppy faces.

2. Baby giggles.

3. Dinah Washington singing anything.

Everyone is concerned by secondhand smoke. Ok … have they ever smelled the fumes from a dryer? Previously, there was a use for a clothespin. It wasn’t created as a supply for a girl scout art project. And what about all those crafts we learned in boy scouts, girl scouts, and webelos? I’ve never seen anyone cook anything of any merit on a coffee can with screwdriver punctured air vents. Never. And if you say that you have - I don’t believe you.
