Hanging my laundry in to dry





By using the Tiki Hut as a make-shift laundry lounge, I save $1.75 and about three kilowatt hours of energy every time I hang my clothes and avoid using the dryer.



There’s this scene in Lady and the Tramp where the animation cam zooms skyward and you see all these high rise apartments graciously shaking hands via clothes lines. It’s the night where Tramp is out courting his Lady.

Much in the same vein, I’m courting my quarters in my quarters. Wait what? What I’m trying to say is that every time I hang my clothes in my bedroom to dry, instead of using the clothes dryer, I save $1.75 and about 3 kilowatt hours of energy. That’s a noodle hooving, lip-smacking, good feeling (yep, still on Lady and the Tramp, the pasta kissing scene).

So in the glory and spirit of Monday, September 19, the day where I hung in my clothes in to dry, I’m going to honor my friend Dan Killacky who left me with his own moment of Zen:  

“Well, 'donkey' is 'burro' in spanish. and a little donkey is a burrito. in burritos there are beans, which are known as the magical fruit. magic in the middle ages often involved alchemy. in alchemy you try to convert various materials to make gold. so see, you're Golden! a Golden Ass! (i had to bring back the donkey)"

Please send Dan (dkillack@gmail.com) an email if you appreciate his friskiness, and remember that being green can save money and the environment.
