Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 31, 2016

But she’s doing it wrong, see? You’re supposed to hang like items of the same size together, in descending order. Wow, am I grateful for my dryer!

Clothes dryer for me. No pollen, cinders, bird, etc. No lugging heavy wet laundry. Where do you hang it in the winter.

I use my lines until it’s just too cold. My mom hung sheets in 20 degree weather. My go on the lines in the basement in winter.

Happy & Safe 2017 everyone.

Many subdivisions have banned clotheslines. We have one, a retractable 5 line model. Wife hangs them out, I bring them in. There is nothing in the world like sheets that have air dried…Well, unless the neighbor decides to burn his trash and the wind is coming from that direction.

I am glad for my drier but I get a kick out of telling people that I have a solar powered clothes drier. Then my brother-in-law told me it was wind powered.

I guess there are no Pluggers in the Pacific Northwest.

Today’s kids just can’t imagine hanging out their undies for all the world to see. They don’t know what they are missing.

Remember the days well, when one had to put up a ‘support pole’ near the driveway to allow visitors’ cars to get underneath the day’s laundry without tugging it down or worse. Then, of course, there were the days of stringing antenna wires out on the clothesline pulley to get better Crystal Radio reception, but I’m dating myself here…

I still have a antenna on the roof can pull bookoo channels in 1080 for free.

Our neighbour washes her clothes by hand, hangs it on her line in the front garden to dry and it stays there for three weeks.

A plugger still has difficulty spelling the word “sustainability.”

I hated the clothesline when I was a kid because the neighbors would critique the order in which I hanged things. There were no secrets in those days.

Got a indoor clothesline, city won’t allow outdoors. All that lint in the dryer screen is your clothes slowly disolving. Clotheslines ARE sustainability.
