Fighting Grime in Another Dimension

It is tough to wax poetic about washers and driers, but I have to admit the new ones we just got are pretty slick. Gone are the days of the clickity-click knobs (TVs lost those long ago; it has taken the washing machine industry a lot longer to catch on). Buttons that make musical noises kind of like those irritating electronic kid’s books, have replaced those noisy knobs. The big thing is the machines are quieter, smoother, and more efficient then what they have replaced.

Our old washer and drier had hit the ten year mark and the washer quit washing. Apparently, it caught whatever mechanical virus our ‘fridge had caught and died of natural causes. I don’t get attached to appliances, as a rule, so I can’t say I was sad to see them go. Perhaps they’ll wind up as part of an artificial reef somewhere, or used to hold up the wall in the El Mirage City Hall - either way helping the community. Or the driver dumped them off in the desert somewhere, which is probably more likely the case.

Well, there’s the drier - have to go, don’t want wrinkled shirts!!
