Mexican beaches: Great for vacations, less so for living.<br /><br />I hang my clothes on the line, and they are dry in about two hours. No sweat, so to speak.<br /><br />I really don't get beach-dwellers.Michael Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720359542700663699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-65505712102292760452010-12-13T00:10:15.338-06:002010-12-13T00:10:15.338-06:00Calypso -- I am not certain of the price.

I return, pay the pier, and am on my way.<br /><br />Jackie -- Same routine here. But just as in Salem, I usually forget to return for a few days.<br /><br />Jennifer -- How many single men have you known? The thought of laundry does not even enter my head until I have no underwear for the day.<br /><br />Nita -- Glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun piece to write. Welcome back.<br /><br />Paty -- No. There is always the option of buying still more clothes.<br /><br />ANM -- Some details need to be sent only through private post. Watch your mailbox. Of course, it may simply be my dirty laundry.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-50157989380274216602010-12-12T22:13:46.934-06:002010-12-12T22:13:46.934-06:00While your dirty laundry could have been an intere...While your dirty laundry could have been an interesting story, you failed to detail the dirtiness -- its smell, feel, look. For example, you could have described the dead mouse, curled up in the pit of your soiled tee shirt, its little face scrunched up tight from the ferocious toxic stink. But, no, you left out the most interesting part of the story. You're a tease.<br /><br />anmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-67120742310202918262010-12-12T17:15:11.907-06:002010-12-12T17:15:11.907-06:00You say, "Turning my clothes over to the laun...You say, "Turning my clothes over to the laundress is not really a luxury. It is a pleasure." No, no, Steve, it is a necessity in your case.
