tradition

this morning i did a wash & enjoyed the beautiful outdoors. it really is gorgeous outside, warm, sunny & with beautiful fall leaves. i also enjoyed having all the washers and dryers work & generally the sound of the machines humming. washing is a very happy-sounding event. very cozy.

anyhow. single people have our traditions too. and sometimes they are quite cozy. doing a wash on sunday morning when the laundromat is still empty, watching the people go by on the street on the way to brunch, playing in the little park while the clothes wash (which includes riding on the springy-snail), saying hey to the laundromat people. it's all kinda cool when you've been doing it for a while. and you are a local. and it's a tradition. it all works.
