· I know exactly what it's like, particularly in our winter and spring; but
when I've brought the clothes in twice, I usually give up, select-out the
driest, and leave the rest in a pile on the washing machine for hanging out
the next day. The family knows they can't always get clothes back as soon
as they might like; this determines e.g. how much underwear and socks they
need to own.

· I didn't quite understand tully's: "spent jet fuel dirties the clothes
outside." It probably means the soot particles that come out of
(particularly old) jet engines, but I wondered whether she's so far out in
the country that pilots are allowed to dump excessive fuel in her area,
when they have to make an emergency landing.
  I'm a little surprised that you can tell that it's jet-engine soot, and
not from a ground-based source (of which there must be many, in NC).

with PF, Arnie; and not only because yours was one of the first voices of
appreciation for how I live, back on Nov 26 1997:

"common" sense - not all that common (though more so on this list), IMO.
